Morning Jacket, Pops team up in style
By Carol Beggy & Mark Shanahan, Globe Staff  |  May 26, 2006

As he stood on the Symphony Hall stage for the first time yesterday, My Morning Jacket's main man Jim James had one important question to ask the Boston Pops. ``Were you guys planning to wear standard attire for `Letterman'?" he wondered, looking at the orchestra's artistic planning director, Dennis Alves. Turns out that June 8 -- two weeks before the Kentucky combo partners with the Pops for a pair of shows at Symphony Hall -- My Morning Jacket, conductor Keith Lockhart, and 13 Pops players will perform on ``The Late Show With David Letterman." Actually, Alves said, the Pops were considering dressing down, emulating My Morning Jacket's gruffy, truck-stop chic. But they could be persuaded to stick with the elegant concert attire. ``Great," James said, ``because we're thinking of renting tuxedos, just to sort of class it up."
