30 YEARS OF JAM SESSIONS!
François Constantin has been running the Jam Session every Monday at the Baiser Salé Jazz-Club for 30 years.
So he's seen a lot of talent come and go, he's seen musicians grow and assert themselves, and for many the jam was the place where it all began!
6 days of celebration!
From 29 November to 4 December, every night from 9.30pm.
And we'll even be celebrating François' 60th birthday on 2 December . An unmissable double birthday.
On the programme

A little background
The 1st jam took place in March 91 with Francis Lockwood piano /Thierry Fanfant bass /Francois Constantin drums.
In those days, Paris went to bed late and people played all night long, so we started the Jam at 11pm!
We had regular line-ups like :
- Richard Bona bass / Pascal Danaë guitar / François Constantin drums
- Sylvain Luc guitar / Jean-Marc Jafet bass / François Constantin drums
- Etienne Mbappé bass / Olivier Ajavon guitar / François Constantin drums
After 30 years, the same fervour, the same enthusiasm and the same principle, but at 9pm ;-) with François Constantin on drums!
An hour-long concert lays the foundations and launches the evening's theme, a tribute to an artist, followed by a jam. More than just a concert, the jam is an opportunity to discover outstanding musicians and see them having a great time improvising together. It's a unique experience!
SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE, FOR 6 DAYS OF FIESTA AND MUSIC INTO THE NIGHT!
