INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL « JAZZ A JUAN », HEADING INTO 2022!

From 9th to 20th July 2021, the 60th edition of the international jazz festival “Jazz à Juan” took place, its programme once again masterfully orchestrated by Jean-René Palacio, artistic director of the festival for the past ten years.
Further to his passing, a new request for proposals was launched by the Antibes Juan-les-Pins Tourism and Convention Bureau, organiser of the event, in order to designate a new artistic advisor for the festival. At the end of this procedure, the committee in charge of tender offers selected the joint application by Jean-Noël Ginibre, Reno Di Matteo and Pascal Pilorget.
