Tonight at SXSW, Quincy Jones gave us a new, amazingly talented artist… Nikki Yanofsky. And, blessing us all, he presented Ms. Yanofsky with the amazing Alfredo Rodriguez on the keys with the tightest combo with which any jazz singer ever had the pleasure of performing. At the tender age of 18, Ms. Yanofsky delivered original [...]

Another great night of English bands started out with the British Music Embassy Launch party at SXSW 2011.  Opening with Dry the River (see photos from yesterday’s posting), the line up included singer/songwriter Jamie Woon and wrapped up with the very popular Bombay Bicycle Club.
