Via The Berkshire Eagle, James Taylor and Carole King have added a third show to their “Troubadour Reunion” tour stop at Tanglewood this summer. The first two shows sold out within hours. Only lawn tickets are still available for the newly added show on Monday, July 5, and you can bet they won’t last long.

James Taylor and Carole King: Third Tanglewood Show Added
Monday, February 8th, 2010Tanglewood’s 2010 Schedule
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009Yup, it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but we’re already thinking about the summer concert schedule that’s coming up some seven months down the road.
Over in Lenox, Mass., Tanglewood’s schedule focuses squarely on its classical music season, and you can check out the complete schedule here. But they always manage to sneak in a few tasty pop concerts during the summer, too.
Here are some of the pop highlights:

We love a good surprise.
And we found a real doozy at the Tanglewood Jazz Festival on Sunday afternoon in the form of the Kat Edmonson Sextet. Not only did we not know anything about the stunning jazz vocalist and her band – she was a last-minute substitute booking at the fest – but we’d never even heard the name before we found her at the microphone in the Jazz Cafe tent.

The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra
Swing, swang, swung…
The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra conjugated it pretty much every old way you could possibly want on the final day of the 2009 Tanglewood Jazz Festival in Lenox, Mass.
The towering 80-minute performance was primarily crafted from the sturdy building blocks of the vast Thad Jones catalog, which was certainly no surprise since the 16-piece VJO is devoted to carrying on the music and legacy of the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra.
