#FestivalEstivalDeJam2026 Jam Session d'Étienne Mbappé

On stage, Étienne Mbappé embodies the very spirit of the jam: a musical dialogue where every note is an invitation to adventure.

For this 20th edition of the Summer Jam Festival, the Club welcomes an iconic musician whose history is intimately linked to this venue: Étienne Mbappé.

This great name in jazz and world music has a true love story with the Club, which began in the 80s, and its stage, which he now knows better than anyone, after decades of music, sweat, and passion shared within its walls.

His presence tonight is a celebration of the African roots of jazz. His very particular playing style, with gloves, gives him an inimitable sonic signature – a delicate touch and raw expressiveness that distinguish him on every stage in the world.

Alongside him are three high-calibre musicians: Anthony Jambon on guitar, with his crystalline and refined playing, already Étienne's accomplice on stage; Brice Essomba on keyboards, an arranger and composer with jazz and Afro-contemporary colours; and Japhet Boristhène on drums, a child of Reunion Island who has become one of the most respected figures on the Lyon jazz scene.

An evening that promises to be memorable.
