As the eldest son of the legendary Joe Dassin, Jonathan Dassin authentically preserves his father's musical legacy. Trumpet player, author and composer, he is currently on his "L'Héritage Dassin Tour 2026-2027", blending original compositions with moving renditions of timeless classics such as L'Eté Indien, Les Champs-Elysées and Et si tu n'existais pas.
