I think "Portrait of Mahalia Jackson" is one of his greatest compositions - in the context of his entire career. It has an unassuming, gently swaying quality that evokes gospel and blues in an interesting, unorthodox key.
(As for portrait subject: I'm not a big gospel fan, but I love a lot of Mahalia's work - especially her World's Greatest Gospel Singer album.) |

Speaking of Ellington, I also really got into the Far East Suite
