Lisa Young Quartet

Lisa Young Quartet is a jazz quartet from Melbourne, Australia, led by a vocal artist and composer Lisa Young.

Lisa Young Quartet's music is based on original compositions exploring themes of contemporary life, with rich vocal interpretations and musical complements with world music influences. Lisa Young is a prominent musician on the Melbourne jazz scene, known for the use of wordless vocals and the use of voice as an instrument with konnakkol influences (the South Indian vocal percussion technique).

Albums

Lisa Young Quartet has released three albums: "Transformation" (1991), "Speak" (1999), and "Grace" (2006). On all three albums Lisa Young was accompanied with the bass player Ben Robertson, who was also a co-composer on a number of songs.
