Monday's Jam With François Constantin

Jimi Drouillard, a talented guitarist, is one of those whose reputation is well established... His supple and nervous phrasing combines jazz with a most irresistible groove. Recognized as one of the masters of the Telecaster (guitar designed by Leo Fender), this complete musician with multiple influences evolves on the borders of blues, jazz, rock and song. “Many foreign musicians come here – either on tour or on vacation – and tell us that the Baisers Salés jam is unlike any other in the world.” The main difference is accessibility: here, no need to register and no level preference, everyone can come and play. Each evening begins with a concert, then spectators are invited to take part in the jam. This is the moment that Maria Rodriguez calls the confrontation: "The idea is to measure yourself against better than yourself. If we just come to play, it's nice, we have a good time... But we take nothing away!” explains the manager. “The jam is made to progress, and to get noticed.”
