Billie Holiday & "All of Me" | The Jazz Real Book (EP. 10)

"All of Me," a timeless jazz standard co-written in 1931 by Gerald Marks and Seymour Simons, gained widespread popularity with recordings by Paul Whiteman, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, and others. Billie Holiday, born in 1915, overcame adversity to become a jazz legend. Her unique vocal style and emotive interpretations marked hits like "God Bless the Child" and the iconic protest song "Strange Fruit." Despite personal battles, her resilience defined the 1940s. In her 1944 rendition of "All of Me" with Lester Young, she delivers a slow swing with remarkable vocals.
