Reception

The Allmusic review by Ron Wynn was awarded a four-star album of five, stating, "All three took the opportunity, convergent, collided, alternate time in the spotlight, and made music unequivocal, unexpected, while never staying locked in a single groove or style". The Penguin Guide to Jazz rewarded the stars of 3 star stars stating, " Current Events , which introduced two of the most sympathetic and responsive guitarist partners, is still a very strong statement ".
