#MondayJam with François Constantin
Monday means Monday JAM!
Le Baiser Salé (Paris 1st)
About
The Monday Jams are THE unmissable and timeless event where masters of the genre meet the younger generation for musical duels in a friendly atmosphere. This time, we focus on Hard Bop, an iconic jazz movement that appeared in the 1950s, which extends the energy of bebop by mixing it with blues, gospel, and soul, with a powerful swing and a very present groove. The evening begins with a concert led by François Constantin on percussion and lead, accompanied by Fred Nardin on piano, Hugo Lippi on guitar, and Romain Sarron on drums. A high-flying quartet to explore this direct and generous jazz, before giving way to the jam: the musicians meet, respond to each other, and improvise together, extending the evening in the spirit of sharing and freedom that is the very essence of the Monday Jams.
