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’.

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.
