A notícia chegou via web 2.0. Através do seu twitter o saxofonista americano Joe Lovano informou que partiu os braços num acidente, pelo que teve de cancelar todos os espectáculos até ao final do ano. O acidente aconteceu aqui ao lado, em Espanha, e o músico falhou as actuações previstas para Madrid e Barcelona. Quem se deslocou ao Seixal Jazz, no passado dia 21 de Outubro ainda teve a sorte de assistir a um belo concerto do azarado saxofonista com o seu grupo US Five. Aqui fica a sua mensagem original: “I'm okay. In a freak accident, I fell and somehow broke both arms. Had to cancel all gigs through the end of the year. I'll be back soon!”.

O site oficial confirma a informação, avançando mais detalhes: “Dear Friends: Joe has been on tour in Europe for the last several weeks, first with his fantastic new ensemble, Us Five, following that with several festival shows with his acclaimed Nonet. In late October Joe had an unfortunate accident and suffered two broken arms which required surgery to repair. The procedure has since been completed and Joe is resting comfortably in a Barcelona hospital. He will make a full recovery in a few weeks and deeply regrets having to cancel all his shows during November and December. Joe will be back in action in January and fully intends to keep his non-stop schedule flowing as always. Thanks for all your good wishes!” Põe-te bom depressa, Joe! E vê lá se para o ano passas por aqui outra vez.
