At the Pershing: But Not for Me is a 1958 jazz album by pianist Ahmad Jamal. According to the album jacket, the tapes were made on January 16, 1958, at the Pershing Lounge of Chicago's Pershing Hotel and each set played that night was recorded, a total of 43 tracks, of which 8 were selected by Jamal for the album. The LP was released as Argo Records LP-628. Jamal's previous releases on Argo had been from previously made masters; this was his first release recorded for Argo, and his first album recorded live
Seminal release from Jamal, generally considered his most essential recording. Plenty has already been said about his masterpiece interpretation of "Poinciana," but the entire record is wonderful. Israel Crosby and Vernell Fournier interact with Jamal to create one of the most symbiotic trios this side of Evans, LaFaro, and Motian.
The wax is heavy and solid, and it sounds deep and rich. The scratches and pops that accumulated over more than 70 years just dance across this robust sound. The playing on this record are so inspired and forward looking that you might say "but not for me" is timeless. The final song on side b, with its hypnotic rhythmic interplay between bass and piano, contains multiple awesome breaks for hip-hop minded listeners.
