Duke Ellington CD Recommendations


Is there a particular Ellington recording that you particularly enjoy? I am a little overwhelmed with sheer number of his recordings, so any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

Blues in Orbit. It's a great recording. MFSL version which is dual layered cd/sacd. Which is Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's first and only release of a dual layered CD.
I second Blues in Orbit (the sacd layer is fabulous). Also Jazz Party (with Dizzy and Jimmy Rushing) - another MFSL disc - if you can find it.
I love the soundtrack for Anatomy of a Murder, and his album with Coltrane is one of my faves too.
