All That Jazz is the debut studio album by English pop band Breathe. Originally scheduled for release in October 1987, the album was issued first in the United States on 24 August 1987, ahead of the United Kingdom and other markets.[3][4] The album peaked at #22 on the U.K. Albums Chart and at #34 on the U.S. Billboard 200. It has been certified Gold in the U.S. by the RIAA,[5] Gold in Canada[6] and Silver in the U.K. by the BPI.[7]

A number of the album's tracks were recorded in 1985 with producer Bob Sargeant. The group's first British single, "Don't Tell Me Lies", was released in January 1986 and reached No. 77 on the U.K. Singles Chart. In 1987, Chris Porter was brought on board to produce, and the band continued working on the rest of the tracks to be included on All That Jazz.[3] "Don't Tell Me Lies" was not featured on the initial U.K. release of the album (though an edited dance version was included on the US version and later album pressings worldwide). In May 1987, "Jonah" became the band's first U.S. single, and third in the U.K., but failed to chart in either territory.

The biggest hit single from the album was "Hands to Heaven", which reached No. 4 in the UK and No. 2 on the US pop chart.[8][9] Other singles from the album include three UK-only tracks - "All That Jazz", "Any Trick", and a re-release of "Jonah," - along with "How Can I Fall?", a re-release of "Don't Tell Me Lies", and "All This I Should Have Known" (U.S. only).[10]

On 25 February 2013, a Deluxe Edition of the album was issued by Cherry Pop Records.[11]
