Mario Canonge + Michel Zenino

Presented by Le Baiser Salé - 1-016846 / 2-016877 / 3-0187

After nearly two decades of musical collaboration, Mario Canonge and Michel Zenino are reviving their celebrated residency at Le Baiser Salé, a ritual eagerly anticipated every Wednesday by a loyal and passionate audience. 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, 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 key figure in Caribbean jazz, and Zenino, a double bassist with formidable precision in his phrasing, inventively revisit great jazz standards – from Thelonious Monk to Ornette Coleman – while infusing them with their Creole and Latin roots, and their taste for cultural blending. This residency, a true laboratory of improvisation, blends tradition and modernity in a rare form of alchemy, nourished by years of musical dialogue.
