July 3, 2010 report by Dave Conlin Read<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Entering<\/a>The three day Tanglewood<\/strong> segment of the Carole King<\/a> & James Taylor<\/a><\/strong> Troubador Reunion 2010 World Tour<\/em> got underway Saturday July 3, a quintessential sunny summer day that got all hot, bothering nobody, and then cooled nicely after dusk, easing the lawnsters’ transition from the gnosh to the canoodle.<\/p>\n

This reunion includes the 3 sidemen from the Troubador<\/a>, the Hollywood club where King and Taylor first performed together: guitarist Danny Kortchmar<\/a>, the bassist Leland Sklar<\/a> and Russ Kunkel<\/a> on drums. Connecticut native Kortchmar and Taylor met on Martha’s Vineyard in the mid-60s, a friendship that led Taylor to London where the Beatles signed him in 1969 and then to L.A. in 1971. <\/p>\n

With King and Taylor taking turns on stage recalling the moments when they first heard each other’s songs, one almost could sense the firing of billions of synapses among the audience of 18,500, as it embarked on a million mile trip down memory lane. Ms. King wondered aloud whether “this is what Koussevitsky had in mind?”
\n\"Tanglewood<\/a>
\nMaybe not exactly; Koussevitsky<\/a> being all about the learning, and this show being all about the remembering. But we can imagine the Maestro being mollified by this first-class show, the principals all having earned post-graduate honors from the University of the Sixties. <\/p>\n
