From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

Background

[edit]

The LYQ quartet is composed of Young, Stephen Magnusson (guitar), Ben Robertson (double bass) and Dave Beck (drums). Their most recent work, The Eternal Pulse, is a wordless song-cycle featuring the intoned rhythmic recitation of konnakol, varieties of meter and subdivision, layering Indian elements, rhythmic textures and ensemble dialogue, in an evocative journey of sound and song. The quartet has released four albums, The Eternal Pulse, Grace, Speak and Transformation.

Young is also a founding member of an a cappella group, Coco's Lunch, which has recorded seven albums of original music.[1] In 2003, Coco's Lunch won the award for 'Best Folk/World Song' at the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards, in the United States.[1] At the ARIA Music Awards of 2007, Coco's Lunch received nominations in the category 'Best Children's Album' for Rat Trap Snap and in 'Best World Music Album' for Blueprint.[2]
