All Day Long is a jazz album by the Prestige All Stars, later credited to trumpeter Donald Byrd and guitarist Kenny Burrell, released in 1957 on the Prestige label.[4] All tracks were composed by the members of the band.
Side A of the LP only included the blues "All Day Long" described by Dan Morgenstern[5] as "A simple but effective structure" that "controls the performance and keeps it solidly together: each soloist enters with a break, plays 12 bars, and then breaks again before extemporizing at great length". Ira Gitler in the original liner notes[6] points out that the theme "A.T." is dedicated by Frank Foster to Art Taylor (hence the initials); "Say Listen" "derives its name from the attention calling phrase that (Byrd) often verbally employed".
