Le Quint'up : M. Canonge, M. Zenino, A. Dolmen, J. Woodson, R. Izquierdo

It grooves hard with Quint'Up! Led by Mario Canonge and Michel Zenino, this quintet brings together five exceptional musicians around a jazz fueled by hard bop, Caribbean rhythms, and an irresistible urge to share.

Here, everything is movement: melodies dance, improvisations soar, and grooves settle in without asking for permission. Alex Duthil, on Open Jazz on France Musique, calls it "a torrent of energy, swing, mastery, and swaying grooves". Hard to sum up the experience better.

Alongside Canonge and Zenino, we find Arnaud Dolmen, one of the most prominent drummers of his generation and winner of the Victoires du Jazz; Josiah Woodson, Grammy Award-winning trumpeter; and Ricardo Izquierdo, Cuban saxophonist renowned for the richness of his playing.

Every two months, the #RdvAvec series invites an artist or group to pick up the thread. Concert after concert, the music deepens, repertoires are reinvented, and new perspectives open up. Because some adventures deserve more than a single encounter.
