Fred Hersch at Maybeck: Maybeck Recital Hall Series Volume Thirty-One is an album of solo performances by jazz pianist Fred Hersch.
Music and recording
The album was recorded at the Maybeck Recital Hall in Berkeley, California[1] in October 1993.[2] The material is "several well-worn pop standards, a few jazz tunes, and a couple of originals".[3]
Release and reception
The Penguin Guide to Jazz concluded that the album "might not be his finest hour, but it sets up a near-perfect balance of his meditative and argumentative sides".[2] The AllMusic reviewer described it as "another classy, technically unimpeachable, spotlessly recorded outing in the Maybeck series."[3]
