Les Mccann, once a jazz pianist with an ingratiating pop sound, has switched em- phasis to where he now plays jazz-flavored pop music. His formula includes large measures of rock, a dash of gospel and a goodly portion of jazz, all mixed out there in the middle of the road. Thus his concert Monday night at the University of San Diego's CamJno The- ater, co ponsored by the as- sociated students and the So- ciety for the Preservation of Jazz, proved highly popular among the 1000 students who nearly filled the hall - but it was only marginally a jazz show It was intended as a test case, though, with its out- come helping determine whether USD will continue with a series of jazz presen- tat!ons So it is hoped McCann's success in luring and satisfying a crowd will lead to more musically chal- lenging enterprises Mccann, for his part, pre- sented a polished, enJoyable show, full of fun but short on creativity. Significantly, it was as a singer that he dis• played real commitment.
