The FIVE best Ellington albums I have ever heard all are A+++:
1. Hot Summer Dance (Red Barron Records)
2. Anatomy of A Murder (Columbia 6-Eye or Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs)
3. Count Meets Duke (with Count Basie Orchestra) (Columbia 6-Eye)
4. Ellington Indigos (Columbia 6-Eye)
5. Black, Brown, and Beige (with Mahalia Jackson) (Columbia 6-Eye)
..all of these recording come from that late 1950's, early 1960's Columbia 6-Eye time period where the sound was great. I WILL BRAG that the studios then used McIntosh amps in them (so IMHO, thier great sound is no wonder ) ;-)Marty N.
