At The Pershing

Although they were not Ahmad Jamal's first recordings, the 1958 Pershing and Spotlite performances marked the beginning of his success.

The original album At the Pershing/But Not for Me, taped at the Pershing Lounge in Chicago over two nights in January 1958, included eight of the forty-three tunes played by the trio, which Jamal personally selected for the album.
