Mario Canonge / Michel Zenino

Since 2006, this unique piano-double bass duo has established a format as demanding as it is intense, without artifice or compromise, where every note and every silence matters. The absence of drums, far from being a limitation, becomes a playground where concentration, mutual listening, and sensitivity reach their peak. On stage, Canonge, a seminal figure of Caribbean jazz, and Zenino, a double bassist with remarkably 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 love for cross-cultural blending.

This residency, a true laboratory of improvisation, blends tradition and modernity in a rare alchemy nurtured by years of uninterrupted musical dialogue. Every week, they also welcome guest musicians, extending this dynamic of exchange and exploration. Returning to these evenings means stepping into a suspended moment, where technical mastery gives way to raw emotion and the shared moment. An unmissable rendezvous for lovers of live, free, and deeply embodied jazz.
