The American Jazz Museum issued the following press release yesterday:
We regret to announce that the January 22nd Jammin' at the Gem Dave Holland Quintet concert has been canceled. Mr. Holland’s wife will have unanticipated open-heart surgery on January 18th and has in fact canceled the remainder of his tour. At this time, no re-scheduling or make-up concert is planned. We await a statement about this from Mr. Holland’s management, which we will release to the media as quickly as possible.I extend my best wishes to the Holland family. Still, the cancellation is terribly disappointing. As I wrote in a Jammin' at the Gem season preview, I was "positively giddy" in anticipation of the performance. The embedded clip from October of last year provides a taste of the brilliance we'll be missing.

That's a shame, as Holland's band is really first-rate and undoubtedly would have been a highlight of the concert season. Here's hoping for a good result from Mrs. Holland's surgery....
Dag! About the only show I was really looking forward to ...
Nice review of The Bad Plus, Dean.
Don't forget about Joe Lovano's show at the Folly on April 2, Rick. Unfortunately, Esperanza Spalding has a gig in Italy that day, so I guess she won't be in the band.
