At the Pershing-But Not for Me, és el primer àlbum que el trio format per Israel Crosby al contrabaix, el baterista, Vernell Fournier, i Ahmad Jamal, al piano, graven en directe. Des que es va editar, el disc va ser un autèntic èxit de vendes, i encara avui segueix reeditant-se, cosa que el converteix en un dels discos de piano-jazz més venuts del món i pel qual els col·leccionistes se segueixen barallant.
