All or Nothing at All is a studio album by Billie Holiday, released in 1958 on Verve Records, catalog MGV8329.[4] There are 12 songs on the LP taken from five different recording sessions that took place in 1956 and 1957.[5] Holiday was backed by a "relaxed and understanding"[6] small combo which included the trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison and the saxophonist Ben Webster. A 1959 New York Times article noted that Holiday's voice "had become a very limited instrument which she used with the craft and guile of an aging pitcher who can no longer pour his fast one across the plate."[7]

Album cover art is by David Stone Martin.
