The collaboration between James Taylor and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir — two iconic figures of American music — was many years in the making, Taylor revealed at a press conference Friday afternoon at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. “It just took us a long time to find the date, and this was worth the wait,” said Taylor, who has been practicing with the choir and the Utah Symphony since he arrived in town Wednesday afternoon. “The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is a national treasure and a great gift to the world.”
