What's your favourite Duke Ellington recording? No covers please, just Duke and his band.
Mine is Dimuendo and Crescendo in Blue from Ellington at Newport. It's hard to beat the combo of Gonsalves 27 choruses of blues coupled with Cat Anderson's soaring trumpet on the out chorus for pure visceral impact.
