Duke Ellington

Ellington probably gets more spots in my top 10000 than anyone (Armstrong may have been the greater genius, but he can't touch Ellington's discography, in part because Duke hired such great help). Here are the contenders; I'm not up to sorting them just yet. Most discographical info from A Duke Ellington Panorama.
