La Jam du Lundi de François Constantin - #LaJamDeTousLesJazz

On Monday, May 18, 2026 at the Baiser Salé, François Constantin leads his Monday Jam, a playground designed for improvisation and collective listening. A musician and master of ceremonies, he sets the pulse, launches the opening themes and directs entries and exits with a precise sense of tempo and drive. The evening charts its course between standards, compositions and on-the-spot discoveries, shaped by the energy of that night’s guest performers and the combinations that form on stage.

Here, the heart of the event is interaction. Constantin adjusts the dynamics, opens space for soloists, welcomes horn players, vocalists and the rhythm section, and ensures the set’s momentum remains alive. The music moves from swing to groove without force, sometimes taking on Latin or electric colors, all in service of the moment. Call-and-response solos, surprising breaks, themes reinvented on the fly: the jam privileges musical conversation, carried by the collective’s energy. A session led by François Constantin, aimed at getting close to what makes jazz live.
