Billie Holiday – All or Nothing at All (AS Verve Vinyl LP)

Billie Holiday’s 1958 Album All or Nothing at All on 180g LP. Remastered and Transferred from Analog Tapes. Pressed at QRP and Packaged in Deluxe Gatefold Packaging.

Recorded in five sessions over 1956/1957 and released in 1958, this 12-track affair is loaded with the classic standards from Berlin, Ellington, Gershwin and more. Though some claimed Billie Holiday was beyond her peak at this point, it was Miles Davis who countered that this was her most effective time with her “deepest understanding and control” of the repertoire she was performing. Her supporting cast on this album contributes to that as well, which included Barney Kessel (Guitar), Ben Webster (Tenor Sax), Harry “Sweets” Edison (Trumpet), and Jimmy Rowles (Piano). This Verve Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
