Kay,

  That's an easy one:
  Vanassie's on San Francisco (the wrong side of Guadalupe Street). The
restaurant there is pretty good, if simple & straightforward. A variety of different pianists, often Doug Montgomery in the summer.
  Manana Bar on Alameda @ Don Gaspar has piano/vocalists but have not listened
to them, so don't know the quality.
  Staab House Bar has Cabb Calloway's daughter (Chris?) w/ a piano
acompianment. She's very good.
  Pizzazz on Water Street @ Guadalupe. Just opened. Wood-fired pizzas w/
a jazz paino. Not yet ben there but good reports on the pizza.

 If you're coming to Santa Fe to eat: Cafe Escalera is still teriffic. A new relatively restaurant, Bistro 315 on Old Santa Fe Trail has outstanding bistro type food. Two new ones: Cafe Atalaya on Guadalupe is much like Escalera but much cheaper with the best bread ever made in New Mexico as good as Acme bread and Andiamo on Garfield St has simple but very well done Italian.
  A new one making a big splash is Double AA Grill: VERY expensive and an
attitude like Coyote Cafe, but I've not eaten there but guess the quality is very good.
