Digitally remastered edition. Having worked extensively in a piano, guitar and bass trio, pianist Ahmad Jamal changed the group's dynamics in 1957 by switching the guitar to drums, linking with Israel Crosby (bass) and Vernel Fournier (drums). The house group for the Pershing Hotel in Chicago, the trio recorded this live album (also known as But Not for Me) in 1957 and following it's release in January 1958 it would spend more than two years on the chart. The financial success of the album enabled Ahmad to buy and open his own restaurant and club in Chicago, whilst the critical success established Ahmad's reputation for the following four decades.
