CANONGE ZENINO

After almost two decades of musical complicity, Mario Canonge and Michel Zenino relaunch their famous residency at Le Baiser Salé, like a ritual awaited every Wednesday by a loyal and passionate audience. This unique duo of piano and double bass has established a format 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 paroxysm. On stage, Canonge, a key figure in Caribbean jazz, and Zenino, a double bassist with a frighteningly precise phrasing, inventively revisit the great jazz standards - from Thelonious Monk to Ornette Coleman - while infusing them with their Creole and Latin roots, and their taste for crossbreeding.

A veritable improvisational laboratory, this residency blends tradition and modernity in a rare form of alchemy, nourished by years of uninterrupted musical dialogue. To come back to these evenings is to plunge into a suspended moment, where technical mastery fades into the background in favor of raw emotion and the shared moment. An unmissable event for lovers of lively, free, embodied jazz.
