“The much-acclaimed Youn Sun Nah 5 has been described as "one of the most innovative combos in today's Europe jazz scene" (KBS). The quintet is Korean vocalist Youn Sun Nah, Israeli double bassist Yoni Zelnik, English vibraphonist David Neerman, French pianist Benjamin Moussay and drummer Laurent Robin. Besides its superb musicianship, the quintet is famous for its award-winning frontwoman's unique vocal abilities. In 2005, Youn Sun Nah became the first woman to win the grand prize at the Antibes International Jazz Festival. As a jazz ensemble, Youn Sun Nah 5 is known for its precision, articulation and creativity. Brisbane Powerhouse has noted. "They are at their best when they find themselves together on stage, testing their creative limits, developing new arrangements, and losing themselves in improvisation."”
