ARTE pays tribute to the memory of the unforgettable Michel Portal, who passed away on February 12, 2026. Invited in 2021 by the Nancy Jazz Pulsations festival to perform in the historic setting of the Salle Poirel, the French jazz legend led a high-profile quintet and performed his latest album with the minimalist title MP85—the very essence of creativity. He was accompanied by Bojan Z, Bruno Chevillon, Lander Gyselinck, and Samuel Blaser.
