I have to say I own a bunch of Ellington, including the massive RCA box, but I never got around to owning 'The Ellington Suites' until I got the K2 from the Concord sale last week.
Oh my! This is a monster. It is already one of my top Ellington's, all time. This one should be recommended right along with "far east suite', 'and his mother called him bill' and 'such sweet thunder'. I havent been able to listen to the rest of my concord order, because I have already listened 5 or 6 times to this puppy and I am not tired yet.
