Times Like These is an album by vibraphonist Gary Burton recorded in 1988 and released on the GRP label.^[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars stating "Burton sounds fine on the diverse material. Since John Scofield had not had an opportunity to record with the vibraphonist during his year with Burton's Quartet more than a decade earlier, this fine set made up for lost time".^[2]
