BY NIGHT
Le Baiser Salé
Jazz without borders. Afro-Caribbean grooves, fusion, intimate sets and late-night energy in the heart of Paris.
A little room.
A world of rhythm.
A Paris jazz institution with an open mind and an unmistakable pulse.
Le Baiser Salé has championed restless, cross-cultural music since 1983. In its intimate performance space, jazz fusion collides with funk, soul, Afro-Caribbean rhythms and Latin influences. The ground-floor bar adds to the sense of a neighbourhood meeting point where musicians and audiences mingle.
Come for a carefully programmed set, a new discovery or a jam session that carries the night in an unexpected direction.
Up close to the music.
Here, the distance between performer and audience feels small. One evening might lean towards contemporary jazz; another may turn into an irresistible exchange of percussion, bass, brass and improvisation.
It's a place to listen closely, discover something unfamiliar and stay curious after the final note.
Discover the ClubJazz fusion, modern jazz, soul, funk and music shaped by African, Caribbean and Latin traditions.
Intimate performances, adventurous musicians and a close connection with the stage.
Jam sessions, artist residencies and evenings where spontaneous collaborations become the main event.
Before the first note.
