It's right off the spool-when Pacific Symphony dissasembles the traditional concert format to deliver an energetic and mesmerizing third 'Music Unwound' performance: 'Gershwin and All That Jazz.' Led by Music Director Carl St.Clair, this special concert features French Canadian pianist Lefevre and one of America's leading bass singers, Kevin Deas, performing a slate of American music to reveal the profound influence of jazz on composers throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Rather than following a traditional format, this concert is being presented in a provocative new way, featuring a 'collage' of music-short vignettes performed in a fluid stream-without the interruption of any breaks other than two intermissions. 'Gershwin and All That Jazz' takes place Thursday-Saturday, March 18-20, at 8 p.m., in the Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall.
