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....

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.
