...talented, if currently little known musicians who more than live up to his title of “the real drea band.” While the standout by far was drummer Bill Stewart, who matched Scofield’s intensity and complexity with dizzying dexterity and frenetic zeal, tenor player Seamus Blake and acoustic bassist Jesse Murphy also acquitted themselves admirably. Blake furnished lean and frequently blistering solos, with Murphy impelling forward the night’s proceedings with tight grooves robust solos, complementing Scofield’s continually surprising harmonic invention...
...work, it never seemed that Scofield was derivative or stretched for motivation. Grasped by the inspiration for a musical idea, he would push it to the limits of creative invention, feeding off his sidemen until grasped by a fresh concept that he would subsequently exhaust.

Although no reason was provided for the cancellation - and it could simply be another quirky rescheduling, as when the North Koreans postponed last year's historic visit to Pyongyang by a couple of days - the tenor of statements emanating from the North Korean capital suggested otherwise. A Pyongyang radio broadcast urged South Koreans to reject "subservience and reliance on outside forces," a clear reference to last week's meeting in Washington where President Bush appeared to warn President Kim that North Korea could not be trusted...
