Davis' re-formed Septet resumed touring after he recovered from throat surgery in April, but his health continued to deteriorate: Paul's Mall, Boston (April 28-May 3); Just Jazz, Philadelphia (May 12-17); Oakland University, Rochester MI (May 24); Bottom Line Club, New York (June 10-12); Avery Fisher Hall, New York (July 1); Central Park, New York (September 5). An October date at Keystone Korner in San Francisco was canceled, and Davis underwent hip replacement surgery in December.
