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. Since 2006, this unique duo of piano and double bass has imposed 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. This residency, a veritable improvisational laboratory, blends tradition and modernity in a rare form of alchemy, nourished by years of uninterrupted musical dialogue. Each week, they also welcome special guests, extending this dynamic of exchange and exploration. 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....

Après près de deux décennies de complicité musicale, Mario Canonge et Michel Zenino relancent leur célèbre résidence au Baiser Salé, comme un rituel attendu chaque mercredi par un public fidèle et passionné. Depuis 2006, ce duo unique piano-contrebasse a su imposer un format aussi exigeant qu’intense, sans artifice ni compromis, où chaque note, chaque silence compte. L’absence de batterie, loin d’être une contrainte, devient un terrain de jeu où la concentration, l’écoute mutuelle et la sensibilité atteignent leur paroxysme. Sur scène, Canonge, figure incontournable du jazz caribéen, et Zenino, contrebassiste au phrasé d’une précision redoutable, revisitent avec inventivité les grands standards du jazz – de Thelonious Monk à Ornette Coleman – tout en y infusant leurs racines créoles, latines, et leur goût du métissage. Cette résidence, véritable laboratoire d’improvisation, mêle tradition et modernité dans une forme d’alchimie rare, nourrie par des années de dialogue musical ininterrompu. Chaque semaine, ils accueillent également des invités complices, prolongeant cette dynamique d’échange et d’exploration. Revenir assister à ces soirées, c’est plonger dans un moment suspendu, où la maîtrise technique s’efface au profit de l’émotion brute et de l’instant partagé. Un rendez-vous incontournable pour les amateurs de jazz vivant, libre, incarné.
