Richie Beirach at Maybeck

The album was recorded at the Maybeck Recital Hall in Berkeley, California[1] in January 1992.[2] Most of the tracks are standards,[3] and the final one, "Elm", is the only original.[2] The format "allows Beirach to exploit his romantic credentials with only a nominal interest in the usual bop formulas, and he throws in a few startling unorthodox glissandos here and there to shake everyone up. Very often, he works compellingly with repetitions in the left hand".[3]

The AllMusic reviewer described it as "A most absorbing recital, cleanly recorded."[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented that his playing is less abstract than on other recordings, and that the standards are perhaps performed too elaborately.[2]
