Jim Murple Memorial

Jim Murple Memorial is jamaican R’n’B- real rhythm’n’blues: light and spellbounding: where suffering courts the joy of living: jamaican style: leasing no one diff e r e n t ! ! ! Way before the birth of rocksteady and reggae: this is R’n’B as played in the local dance bars of Kingston in the 50’s . We find a scintalling drummer: an upright bass: 2 unforgettable guitarists: cool and poppin’-horns: and of course...Nanou’s mild crystal voice: the treasures of labels such as Motown: Atlantic or Verve. A voice full of nostagia: carrying one away: far away. They sing in french and english: play mainly their compos and some covers as the masters used to: boogie-woogie: dancing: shuffle: R’n’B: ska : a pure driving music. The passionate musicians are able to seize the essence and soulfullness of those years: giving you an interpretation with their kaleidoscopic virtuosity. Their notorious popularity started in parisians clubs such as the notable “New-Morning” where they played with the cream of jamaican musicians “The Skatalites”. All of their concerts are real “fiestas” where the vibes invite you to dance: sing: jump: and clap your hands...or at least toe-tapping. The group produces: records and plays on stage in various styles with their own personalized gusto. Not just fast beat ska: also astonishing sounds and solos all engineering “fast-hand style” on mix and match studios kits: four-tracls for authentique sound.
