Personally I like the original 4 LP release, so the 3-CD set matches my criteria.
That's a great set BTW. The Ellington band is in top form. The arrangements are beautiful, ranging from traditional big band to small ensemble, and even some duets. There's some great Herb Ellis and Barney Kessel guitar there too. (Archtop content!)
But don't stop there. The whole Ella song book series has been at the top of my list forever. Work your way through it.
