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

== Background ==
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.<ref name="CARAAward"/> In 2003, Coco's Lunch won the award for 'Best Folk/World Song' at the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards, in the United States.<ref name="CARAAward">{{cite web|url=http://cellensis.at/mitwirkende/2004/cocos_lunch.php |title=Coco's Lunch |publisher=cellensis - Festival Geistlicher Musik |accessdate=12 January 2012 |date=11 August 2006 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120912044311/http://cellensis.at/mitwirkende/2004/cocos_lunch.php |archivedate=12 September 2012 }}</ref> 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''.<ref name="ARIA2007">{{cite web |url=http://www.ariaawards.com.au/history/year/2007 |title=Winners by Year 2007: 21st Annual ARIA Awards |publisher=[[Australian Recording Industry Association]] (ARIA) |accessdate=12 January 2011 }}</ref>
