As the bass player of Murphy's backing group The Normandy All Stars[1](the other two members being guitarist Olivier Durand and Alan Fatras on drums) he has toured large parts of Europe and, repeatedly since 2009, the east coast of the United States. He is featured on four of Murphy's studio albums and can be heard and seen on the CD/DVD-set Alive In Paris. Occasionally, Pardo reunited with former Mister Moonlight members and affiliates for concerts and recordings.^{[citation needed]}
