LA JAM DU LUNDI - François Constantin

Latin jazz is much more than just a subgenre: it is a fusion that has had a profound impact on the history of American jazz. Born from the passionate marriage of Afro-Cuban rhythms and jazz harmonies, this style has breathed new energy and unique rhythmic colour into American music, paving the way for improvisations by legends such as Tito Puente, Dizzy Gillespie and Mongo Santamaría, who have made Latin jazz a global benchmark and a symbol of diversity and cultural openness. A session with killer musicians accompanying François Constantin, guarantor of groove and tradition: the finesse and power of Ludovic de Preissac, warmth and depth in every note with Michael Joussein's trombone, rhythmic solidity with Manu Marchés, a true pillar of sound. Move, move to the rhythm of the congas, warm trombones, catchy bass lines and incandescent piano. Unforgettable evenings, moments of grace, unexpected encounters, and a loyal community that turns up every Monday. The Jam has seen many artists come and go, some of whom have become household names on the French and international scene. Today, it is recognised as a true jazz institution in Paris.
