@ Rather than settle for being merely a straight-up jazz stylist or a standard-issue pop singer, Al Jarreau tries to be a bit of both.

Good music, for the good of Baltimore
Music's a good cause all by itself, but it's even better when it serves several other good causes, as does the Baltimore Symphony's all-Baltimore concert at 8:15 p.m. Wednesday in Meyerhoff Hall. Proceeds benefit 10 local charities. Tickets for the concert, which includes works by Mussorgsky, Vivaldi, Rossini and William Grant Still, are $10 and are available from the BSO box office, (410) 783-8000.
