<\/p>\nWednesday, AKA Hump Day, can feel like Friday, what with all the work you\u2019ve been doing. But sadly you still have two more days until the relaxing weekend. Well from now through Dec. 16, Hump Day doesn\u2019t have to be so dreadful. InterContinental Montelucia Resort is hosting \u201cJazz N\u2019 the Plaza\u201d free jazz concert series going on each Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m., in partnership with Smooth Jazz 95.5 KYOT. Now Arizonans can look forward to this soothing, mid-week day!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All the tunes will be playing in the resort\u2019s Cortijo Plaza just outside Prado and Mbar. Each week guests can come hear comforting sounds from various artists.<\/p>\n
The concerts are free and open to the public and seating is on a first come, first serve basis.<\/p>\n
