Mario Canonge + Michel Zenino

Presented by Le Baiser Salé. After nearly two decades of musical partnership, Mario Canonge and Michel Zenino are reviving their celebrated residency at Le Baiser Salé, a ritual awaited every Wednesday by a loyal and passionate audience. This unique piano and double bass duo has established a format that is as demanding as it is intense, without artifice or compromise, where every note and every silence counts. The absence of drums, far from being a constraint, becomes a playground where concentration, mutual listening and sensitivity reach their peak. On stage, Canonge, an essential figure of Caribbean jazz, and Zenino, a double bassist whose phrasing is of formidable precision, revisit the great jazz standards with inventiveness – from Thelonious Monk to Ornette Coleman – while infusing them with their Creole and Latin roots and their taste for cross-cultural blending.

This residency, a true laboratory of improvisation, blends tradition and modernity in a rare alchemy, nourished by years of musical dialogue
