Here are my favorites with my most favorite first and least favorite last. All are reissued recently.
1.Three Suites (Here he rearranges Tchiakovsky's Nutcracker
You will hear just pure genius particularly if you are familiar with the original work. This CD is excellent sonically)
2. The Ellington Legacy (Very good sonics. Most of his major hits are here.)
3. His Mother Called Him Bill (This record made a recent Absolute Sound survey as among the 100 greatest jazz recordings of the 20th century. My father was the recording engineer on the original recording.)
4. Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong: The Great Summit (Rereleased and remastered separately by RCA and MFSL, this recording was also originally recorded by my father.
