your favorite 3 Duke Ellington albums?

I need to explore his catalog deeper....not his best but your favorites to listen to.

My favorite 3 so far are:

Ellington meets Coleman Hawkins
First Time The Count Meets The Duke
Side by Side

Specifically these 2 cd's: Swing Legends - 24 Classic Hits, Robert Parker series. 1920's to 1940. Sophisticated Lady, Victor Jazz, 1940-46. Both have excellent sound for the time period.
