Frank Cassenti, creator of Jazz à Porquerolles, passed away in December 2023. To pay tribute to him, the festival is inviting a top-flight line-up to the Var: Naissam Jalal, Nguyên Lê, Marion Rampal…

Filmmaker, director, writer, sailor, guitarist, scriptwriter… Frank Cassenti seems to have had a thousand lives. This jazz aficionado has put his busy life at the service of music, for example by helping to create the Jazz à Porquerolles festival in 2002.

To pay tribute to this major figure in southern French jazz, artists from the four corners of the globe have gathered on the Var island for an exceptional concert: Pierre Baillot, Majid Bekkas, Michel Benita, Pierre-François Blanchard, Hamid Drake, Naissam Jalal, Nguyên Lê, Christophe Leloil, Ana Carla Maza, Marion Rampal, Aldo Romano, Jacques Schwarz Bart and Jacky Terrasson.
