We went back to the jazz club in CC for HH — Kenzinger on draft for $3, a cocktail or two on special, a few snacks, and live jazz.
A rather unusual combo was playing: an amazing drummer on a tiny set, a dude on sax/flute, keys, upright bass, and… an electric bass. They were great, but something seemed off — even for bebop. I chatted with the drummer & sax during their break outside, and she told me that the manager had double-booked two separate bands for the evening (we have a space cadet manager like that back in the boonz, too 
). Instead of one of them leaving, they decided to play together. The electric bass probz shoulda sat this one out, just saying….
We had a couple beers, then moved on to a Kiss of Life (reposado tequila, Damiana, Pineau de Charentes, brandy, thyme, lemon) for my PIC
& a Bella Ciao (peppar vodka, rosemary, lime, caraway honey blend, black pepper and tomato oil) for me,
and their excellent signature old-fashioned (Jim Beam Black, demarara, bourbon cherry juice, bitters, flamed orange swath) as my ‘night cap.’
Another luscious pie we’d picked up at Angelo’s in the afternoon was waiting for us at home for dinner: funghi e spinaci, which turned out to be a white pie.
I was a little disappointed, but that incredible crust made up for it. Half is left for whenever. Banana walnut cake from our favorite Italian bakery for dessert.
