Live At Maybeck Recital Hall, Volume Fifteen
''Live at Maybeck Recital Hall, Volume Fifteen'' is a 1992 live album by jazz pianist Buddy Montgomery, recorded at the Maybeck Recital Hall in Berkeley, California. Reception The album was positively reviewed by Richard S. Ginell at Allmusic who wrote that Montgomery "has more than enough of the solid musicianship and abundant technique that seems to go with the territory in this series", though Ginell felt that Montgomery's "solo ruminations, however accomplished, aren't all that compelling here". Ginell highlighted "Who Cares" and "Money Blues" as stand out tracks. The authors of ''The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings'' called the album "the best introduction" to Montgomery's music, and stated that his "delicate but insistent touch is just right for the acoustic." Track listing # "Since I Fell for You" (Buddy Johnson) – 5:25 # "A Cottage for Sale" (Larry Conley, Willard Robison) – 5:19 # " Who Cares?"

Ties Of Love
''Ties of Love'' is an album by the pianist Buddy Montgomery, released by Landmark in 1987. The album, which was Montgomery's first in a decade, was recorded partly in New York with longtime producer Orrin Keepnews. Reception Scott Yanow of AllMusic noted: "By 1986, Buddy Montgomery had not recorded as a leader for many years, and because he is so well-respected, his first Landmark outing became quite an all-star affair. ... Despite all of the guests, the leader (who contributed five of the eight songs) does not get buried in the proceedings and holds his own with his friends." ''Fanfare'' singled out Claudio Roditi for praise, and called the album "a breezy session with some good, consistent music." Mark Stryker of ''Jazz Times'' commented: "Strong material, an infectious spirit, and bicoastal bands."
