He will spend a short time recovering at home before resuming his normal work schedule.

Legendary singer Al Jarreau canceled a concert this evening in Escondido, CA … TMZ has learned.

Jarreau was scheduled to perform at The Centre at Lexus Escondido, but the concert hall said Jarreau would not be performing because he was ill. A source close to the situation told TMZ he was taken to the hospital, but the concert hall would not confirm.

The entire concert was not canceled — George Duke, who is also on the bill, will still perform.

Jarreau, who is 72, has won 6 Grammys … including one as recent as 2007… and nominated for 12 more.

Calls to Jarreau’s rep were not returned.
