That makes eight for Jim Murple Memorial, who are celebrating 16 years in the business: the band, which is welcoming new faces, delivers its eighth studio album (not counting the compilation "Spapadoo-Hey ! Spadoo-Oh !").
"Take your flight Jim !" will be a chance to discover new faces around Romain and Nanou and, with them, new voices, notably a male one with the vocals of Cédric, singer of Little Ced & The Elements.
Mixing ska, reggae, rocksteady, calypso, boogaloo and rhytm'n'blues, the recipe concocted by Jim Murple Memorial hasn't changed. Rhythm, dancing and a touch of nostalgia… Out in the shops on 18 February, the fifteen tracks (plus a bonus track) of "Take Your Flight, Jim !" can also be discovered on stage, as the band, true to form, has gone back out on tour.
