Jam Session Special Blues / B.B King

At the Baiser Salé, we take advantage of the summer to spend free and festive musical evenings at the Festival Estival de Jam, from August 3 to September 2.

More than a simple concert, the jam is an opportunity to discover outstanding musicians, to see them having fun improvising together. It is the feeling of participating in a unique moment.

One hour of concert lays the foundations and launches the theme of the evening in homage to an artist then a jam takes us until the end of the night.

Blues legend, B.B King is a genius guitarist. Born in gospel, this “King of the blues” has influenced entire generations of musicians, from Eric Clapton to Stevie Ray Vaughan, including Mike Bloomfield and Johnny Winter. The blues, B.B King played it at the end of the 40s, but he made it evolve and travel.

Jo Champ, Parisian singer and guitarist, animated by soul blues and pop music from the 60s / 70s pays homage to him, with the outstanding rhythmist Felix Sabbal-Lecco, sideman of Manu Dibango, Peter Gabriel, Sting, Herbie Hancock, Paul Simon and even… Prince! - the velvet bass of Henri Dorina and the very bluesy playing of Edouard Bineau who at the age of 14 began to play the harmonica in blues groups. In 2014, he released the album "Bluezz" with Jean-Jacques Milteau in particular. Generosity, experience, energy & talent guarantee the incomparable atmosphere of the Monday evening Jam Sessions.
