Mario Canonge & Michel Zenino - Quint'Up (2018)

Mario Canonge and Michel Zenino form a telepathic duet, breathtaking with energy and sensitivity. Regulars at the Baiser Salé since 2008, they are considered an institution of the Parisian rue des Lombards.Mario is a Caribbean music legend and a staple of the jazz scene today, who found in Michel Zenino, a virtuoso double-bass player, the perfect accomplice to explore freely all the repertoire of jazz. For this new project around their compositions, these two strong musical personalities are joined by the finest of the young generation —Arnaud Dolmen, the Cuban Ricardo Izquierdo Reyes and American multi-instrumentalist Josiah Woodson. Michel and Mario’s repertoire offers an energy-filled and colourful music, a balanced dose of contemporary jazz and hard bop spiced with latin and Caribbean rhythms.
