"Youn
Sun Nah can nail emotions with a sharpness that takes your breath away." -
Sydney Morning Herald
With a voice best described as sweet, sweet clarity,
Youn Sun Nah is said to be one of the best young jazz vocalists
in the international arena. When she sings with talented young Paris-based
jazz
musicians – Laurent Robin on drums, Yoni Zelnik on double bass,
David Neerman on vibraphone and Benjamin Moussay on piano – they
form one of the most exciting young jazz combos in the jazz scene
today.
Besides garnering great critical acclaim for its performances as
a quintet, the individual members are all accomplished musicians in their
own fields. So when all five perform together, the result is a mature
and thoughtful approach to music, with a beautiful enunciation of musical
and emotive nuances.
Youn became the first woman to win the grand prize at the Antibes
International Jazz Festival in 2005, and her latest album, a mélange
of jazz and French chanson, So I Am, was among the top ten on the French
charts.
