Have you checked out the midweek Listening Party at the Hanohano Room yet? The Wednesday live music weekly, hosted by after-hour auteurs Flash Hansen and Matty Boy Hazelgrove, goes down tonight with jazz trumpeter/Listening Party resident DeShannon Higa and his grOOve.imProV .arTiSts. It's free; the pupu menu is half-price. And cocktails go down smooth with Higa and the grOOve's "urban jazz-electronica" and a sunset view from the top of the Sheraton Waikiki. From 5:30 to 9 p.m.
