The group has been performing both in and outside Japan to create a new genre of music by exchanging ideas with local musicians in each country. 

Unit Asia consists of five outstanding musicians with rich individuality. They are prominent Japanese musicians experienced in jazz, fusion and pop: Isao Miyoshi (guitar), Hiroyuki Noritake (drums) and Shigeki Ippon (bass). A well-known Thai saxophone player, Koh Saxman, and a promising pianist from Malaysia, Tay Cher Siang, complete the group. 

With their goal of gathering prominent musicians to create a new genre of jazz in Asia, Unit Asia was formed after a Southeast Asia tour of Singapore, the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia and Thailand. It was first organised by the Japan Foundation and lasted for one month in 2008. 

Since then, their music has evolved and the mutual understanding and friendships between the musicians have deepened. They display a rich creativity and receive the highest praise from music critics and the media, not to mention the audiences at each performance. 

Tung Duong, one of the most talented Vietnamese vocalists, will contribute his strong and emotional voice to the group during their stay. 

The Japan Foundation in Vietnam, in cooperation with the Consulate General of Japan in HCM City, share the delight of hosting the concert.
