Music and recording

The album was recorded in November 1990 at the Maybeck Recital Hall in Berkeley, California. [1] Kuhn deconstructs and then reconstructs "I Remember You" and "Autumn in New York". [2]

Pianist Liam Noble described Kuhn's performance of "Old Folks": "the colla voce movement punctuated by long right hand breaks and eccentric repeated notes, a sound that he's made his own over the years. He goes where his fingers take him: and when he hits the stride section, it's a peculiar, clipped feel like [Thelonious] Monk's but with less front on the note". [3]

Live at Maybeck Recital Hall, Volume Thirteen was released by Concord Records. [1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz concluded that the album was "Impressive and worthwhile", but commented that "Kuhn's sometimes extreme opposition of left and right hands [...] still betrays a certain crudity towards the bass end." [1] The AllMusic reviewer wrote that, "This very satisfying concert CD is well-worth acquiring". [2]
