Music and recording

The album was recorded in July 1990 at the Maybeck Recital Hall in Berkeley, California. [1] Galper commented that, "I was approaching it with a perfectionist attitude, like I had to have everything worked out. And I was getting more and more uptight about it. So I threw all my plans out the window! I went in with 20 or 25 songs that I had sort of done things on, and I winged it!" [2]

Live at Maybeck Recital Hall, Volume Six was released by Concord Records. [1] The AllMusic reviewer commented that "Galper goes about each task armed with a keen rhythmic sense and a fount of harmonic knowledge." [3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz concluded that "Galper's touch is exact; the ideas come unimpeded but rarely glibly. There is, though, a lack of any real drama, and the set doesn't repay repeated listening." [1]
