Characters is a solo album by guitarist John Abercrombie recorded in 1977 and released on the ECM label.
The Allmusic review by Robert Taylor awarded the album 4 stars stating "Abercrombie makes excellent use of space within both his compositions and solos. Upon the first listen there may not appear to be very much here; however, this music needs to be absorbed over several listens to appreciate Abercrombie's brilliance". The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars stating "Characters was Abercrombie's most overt manifesto and calling-card, a demonstration of styles and moods and, even at this point in his career, influences too".The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said "a tremendous solo display of Abercrombie's acoustic/electric guitar and mandolin playing".
