But Not For Me is comprised of

music inspired by the great pianist,

AhmadJamal, and his highly

personal arrangements of popular

jazz standards, recorded between

1958 and 1961 with his celebrated

trio, featuring Israel Corsby on bass

and Vernel Fournier on drums.

This legendary group was known

for its elegant, swinging music, with

phrasing and harmony stemming

out of the bebop era, though they

were also innovative and original

with their sound and concept for

the piano trio setting.

Bassist Andreas Dreier has

brought his trio together again for

this record, on the heels of their

critically acclaimed debut album,

Poinciana (2014). Expanding on the

territory covered on the previous

outing, the music presented on

But Not For Me is an adaptation

of Jamal's classic arrangements,

some adhered to more closely than

others, allowing for the influence

of their own individual personalities

to shine through. With one of

Norway’s leading jazz guitarists,

Bjørn Vidar Solli, the Italy-based

Australian drummer, Adam Pache,

on board this trio is at once elegant

and gritty with its approach to the

chosen repertoire: a fine tribute to

one of the most important piano

trios in the history of jazz.
