Established in 1996, Jim Murple Memorial offers an infusion of ska, rocksteady
and rhythm and blues that's far from fashionable. The Parisian collective, led
by singer (and trumpeter) Nanou, underwent a number of musician changes and the
death of one of their own, bassist Fabrice Lombardo, in 2003, before reaching
its seventh album, A La Recherche d'Un Son Perdu, released in 2010.
