Duke Ellington is historically important ( he changed the status of jazz music) but there were many greater things after him....( for examp, I love "come sunday", but I think the covers by abbey lincoln or Dolphy are greater) so if I had to choose 50 great jazz albums, I don't think there would be one Duke Ellington. But it's just my taste and history...
