Current Events is a studio album by jazz guitarist John Abercrombie recorded in September 1985 and released on ECM the following year. The trio features rhythm section Marc Johnson and Peter Erskine.[1]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Ron Wynn stated: "The three take chances, converge, collide, alternate time in the spotlight, and make emphatic, unpredictable music while never staying locked into one groove or style."[2]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 31⁄2 stars, stating, "Current Events, which introduces two of the guitarist's most sympathetic and responsive partners, is still a very strong statement."[3]
