Yo, dudes! Show some serious pre-Mother's Day dedication to your significant others by taking a break from the playoff excitement of the Los Angeles Lakers and Utah Jazz to enjoy a different kind of jazz.

Synthesis, the Brigham Young University jazz and big band ensemble, will fill up Showhouse II with its smooth sound at the SCERA Center for the Arts in Orem. So, you miss Game 3 of the series. Fear not, there's always Game 4 on Sunday -- and after treating your little lady to Synthesis, she'll certainly cut you some slack on Mother's Day afternoon. (Hedge your bets, though, with a scrumptious breakfast in bed earlier in the day!) Besides, if you manage to surreptitiously listen to the game with an ear monitor during the concert, well, who wouldn't understand that?
