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.
The 1958 Down Beat review was mildly negative, referring to Jamal as playing "cocktail music"; the reviewer acknowledged Jamal's skill and influence on other jazz musicians such as Miles Davis, but wrote, "The trio's chief virtue is an excellent, smooth light but flexible beat", and "Throughout the music is kept emotionally, melodically, and organizationally innocuous." In August 1958, Jet magazine referred to the album as "a nationwide hit". The same month, Down Beat posted the album sales counts at over 47,000, noting that any album selling 15,000 to 20,000 is "big." The December 1958 Down Beat poll of music retailers showed that the album was the "number one jazz bestseller", and it stayed on Billboard Magazine album charts for 107 weeks.
