Reception
The Allmusic review by Ron Wynn awarded the album 4 stars stating "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 3½ stars stating "Current Events, which introduces two of the guitarist's most sympathetic and responsive partners, is still a very strong statement".[3]
