Miles Davis is part of the musical DNA of leading French trumpeter Nicolas Folmer, one of the few international artists to have been produced by Teo Macero, the legendary and historic producer of the ‘Prince of Darkness’. This unanimously acclaimed soloist has also shared the stage with a number of Miles Davis’ partner artists, including John Lewis, René Urtreger, Dave Liebman and Rick Margitza: John Lewis, René Urtreger, but also Dave Liebman and Rick Margitza… Marcus Miller, the legendary bassist and artistic director revealed by Miles, wrote that Nicolas Folmer ‘has absorbed Miles’ music into his soul’. It is in this spirit of continuity that Nicolas offers a new “SO MILES 2” at the crossroads of their universes. Served up as usual by a top-flight cast.

Jam session with Etienne Mbappé au Baiser Salé
2025-03-02 20:30 - 22:30 | Le Baiser Salé, 58 rue des Lombards, Paris, 75001, France
One of the few constants in jazz throughout its history is its indefectible link with improvisation. And it’s certainly in jam sessions that this link is strongest. In this last jam of 2024, we meet Etienne Mbappé, who has a real love affair with this Club, which began when he played every evening at Caf’Conc rue Saint Denis, then settled at the top of the stairs whenever he had a few minutes to listen to what was happening on our little stage. Now, almost 40 years on, it’s time to “pass on the baton”, and Etienne has surrounded himself with the younger generation for his new projects.Rido Bayonne, Casino, Ultramarine, Chic’hot, Su La Take, the Prophetes, Nec+ and now COUNTRY SIDE – African Blues Country Folk Pop Music, his brand-new band, were born in this Club, where they sweated for weeks before reaching their peak…It was in the heart of Cameroon’s Sawa lands, in the village of Bonendale, that one of the most talented and versatile musicians of his generation was born in 1964.An exceptional musician, Étienne Mbappé plays with gloves, giving his playing a unique texture and expressiveness, making him a rarity in the world of string instruments.

As a result, she has become a worthy heir to the great American jazz singers, with a particular emphasis on rhythm. Her scat is fluid, rhythmic and balanced. Her velvety phrasing, swing and perfect sense of tempo have won her unanimous praise from critics and audiences alike.

Their lyrics paint a sympathetic portrait of the world around them, while revealing a part of their intimacy. This ambition is supported by the radiant Adriana Maria, a Puerto Rican singer who has spent time in California, who sings the group’s original compositions in French, English and Spanish. And it all comes together around a single objective: to share joy and offer a little happiness to the audience.
Their concerts are true ‘American-style’ shows, designed to draw the audience into a trance, a communion of dance and song.
AÏTEKA truly embody the art of mixing, and their passion for dance and sharing shines through in their performance.

Xavier Belin & Baptiste Poulin at the Sunside
2025-03-19 21:30 - 23:30 | Sunside Sunset, 60 rue des Lombards, Paris, 75001
The brainchild of saxophonist Baptiste Poulin and pianist Xavier Belin, Crossing is a French jazz duo.
This group has been influenced by many legendary duos such as Lee Konitz and Martial Solal, or Brad Mehldau and Joshua Redman. Crossing takes us on a musical journey where interaction, listening and creativity are at the heart of their play. Their music is an invitation to enter the creative intimacy of two musicians working together.
Crossing can be translated as crossing, the crossing of two roads or two ideas. The result of a crossing is always something new. Crossing is the meeting between Xavier’s highly syncopated, motivating and stable playing and Baptiste’s virtuoso, lyrical and moving playing. The crossing between the warm timbre of the saxophone and the round and percussive sound of the piano. A blend of memories of the lush green Burgundy countryside and the bright, flowery landscapes of Martinique.

Xavier Belin – piano
Baptiste Poulin – sax alto
