Michel Jonasz’s daughter talks about the underside of her father’s notoriety

Now 40 years old, Hannah Jonasz admitted to not having suffered from her father’s fame. However, it was more difficult for his mother, the wife of Michel Jonasz. “I think it is more valid for the women who shared his life, my mother perhaps, who may have suffered from it sometimes, but me, as a child, not at all.“, she declared. When Faustine Bollaert, the host of the show, asked her if her mother had expressed this suffering, Hannah Jonasz was quite embarrassed and did not know how to answer. Did the 77-year-old singer put his music first in his life? In any case, one of his greatest successes comes from a failure he experienced in his early days.

Michel Jonasz looks back on the origin of one of his cult songs: The Jazz Box

In 1985, Michel Jonasz unveiled a new hit: The Jazz Boxa song in which he pays tribute to jazzmen Charlie Parker, Miles Davis and Jimmy Smith. But this title could well have never seen the light of day, because if he wrote this, it was because of a rather bad experience. “It’s a misunderstanding. I don’t come from jazz, but from rock’n’roll and blues. This song was born after a disastrous audition in a jazz club“, he confided to 7 Days TV last February. “I turned this failure into success. Positively!“, he concluded.
