For All We Know (We May Never Meet Again) ??
RTB
lounge the other night accompanied by piano and I can't get it off my
mind. I'd like to get a CD of someone doing a vocal of this song, but
the only search result shows a 1970's Bill Evans album.... To further
complicate it, the searches indicate that there are different songs
with the same "For All We Know" title. I've know Billie Holiday sang
it on some album (with strings), because I taped it (and still have it)
from a jazz radio station years ago. Anyone know who else has recorded
this song and if it's available?
Thanks, RTB

My favourite version of this song is the one by Nat King Cole. It seems
to be available on several different compilations.

'50s. Abbey Lincoln also sung it on ABBY SINGS BILLIE, VOL. 2 (Enja).
Both are on CD. My favorite vocal version however is still Nat King Cole's
from the mid '40s (Capitol).

with a fine band of Swedish musicians. My copy is on vinyl, and I don't
believe it has appeared on CD.

I think my very favorite version of this is done by Janis Siegel with
pianist Fred Hersch. It's the opening track of their second CD
together, called "Slow, Hot Wind" on the Varese Sarabande label.
The way they use the verse is wonderful - bringing it back later. I've
not heard many people play it. Such a beautiful song.

My favorite is Billie Holiday's version on "Lady In Satin".

who uses "For All We Know' as his closing theme song. I had to have it,
in my opinion it is one of the top 5 romantic songs of all time. The
version I have and love is:
The Best Of The Nat King Cole Trio, The Vocal Classics [1947-1950] on
Capitol Jazz CDP 7243 8 33572 2 2
You won't be disappointed, the whole CD is very good.
Happy listening,

Here are my favorite three versions:
1. IMO the best is the duet by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway, with
Roberta on piano, backed up by strings and woodwinds. Theirs is a touching
rendition, that became all the more sensitive, per the words, when Hathaway
died a relatively short time after the recording session. I don't know the
album is on CD but the LP is titled "Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway"
(Atlanta SD 7216).
2. Betty Carter did a beautiful job on the CD "Ray Charles & Betty Carter"
(Personality PRS 23003). This CD was made in Belgium in 1989 from the
original ABC-Paramount session tapes of music well-arranged and
well-conducted by Marty Paich.
3. Another post mentioned the very good take by June Christy on "The Misty
Miss Christy" (Capitol CDP 7 98452 2).

- Billie Holiday recorded it on her penultimate studio recording, the poignant Lady in Satin (Columbia, 1958), with strings arranged by Ray Ellis.
- Dianne Reeves does a marvelous rendition of this great standard on her 1991 Blue Note album titled I Remember; this 9 minutes version features a superb sax solo by Greg Osby and great piano work by arranger Billy Childs.
