your favorite 3 Duke Ellington albums?

@shoff Great record....just streamed it through my Innuos, great record. on the purchase list now.

So many great Duke records to choose from!  

"His Mother Called Him Bill".  Wonderful tribute to Billy Strayhorn and for fans of Hodges the tune "Blood Count"' is a must listen.

Anyone not familiar with his extended works should check out:
"Far East Suite" and "Black, Brown and Beige" (1958).  Fabulous.

For a historical perspective "Mrs. Clinkscales to the Cotton Club" (20s) is great.

Correction:

”And His Mother Called Him Bill”
