Mario Canonge / Michel Zenino – Jazz Duet

After nearly two decades of musical collaboration, Mario Canonge and Michel Zenino are relaunching their famous residency at Le Baiser Salé, a ritual eagerly awaited every Wednesday by a loyal and passionate audience. Since 2006, this unique piano-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, a leading figure in Caribbean jazz, and Zenino, a double bassist with formidable precision, creatively revisit the great jazz standards – from Thelonious Monk to Ornette Coleman – while infusing them with their Creole and Latin roots and their taste for cultural fusion. This residency, a veritable laboratory of improvisation, blends tradition and modernity in a rare form of alchemy, nourished by years of uninterrupted musical dialogue. Each week, they also welcome fellow musicians, extending this dynamic of exchange and exploration. Returning to these evenings is like diving into a suspended moment, where technical mastery gives way to raw emotion and shared experience. An unmissable event for lovers of lively, free, embodied jazz.
