All of You

Cole Porter's amazing jazz standard, "All of You." Cole Porter only wrote the song in 1954, but in my humble opinion it is one of the greatest jazz standards. Although I prefer Miles Davis's instrumental recording of the tune from his Round About Midnight album, any version (instrumental or vocal) which maintains the mid-tempo swing of the Miles Davis take will grab my attention. Here are some of my favorite versions of the song.
