Sunday Wine and Jazz

Trying to get a little culture and some free live entertainment, we went to El Pedregal at the Boulders for a concert featuring jazz singer Khani Cole. It was a beautiful day, upper 70’s with 15% humidity, and a lovely setting.

   This was a popular place to be, but after a break we managed to get front row seats. She is an excellent vocalist and the band was great,too.

To cap off the day, I discovered that Mellow Mushroom Pizza opened their first Arizona location in Phoenix in December. This is our favorite pizza place, and the last time we ate at one was in Austin, Texas in November ‘08.  It was as good as we remembered, and one of the best pizzas we’ve had in a long time. Where else can you get tempeh as a topping? And Jim was actually able to chew it on both sides of his mouth for a change.

We’ll be here a few more days, then on to the red rocks of the Sedona area.
