Home Composers Edward K. "Duke" Ellington updated 5 April 2002 Edward K. "Duke" Ellington Photo: G. Schirmer, Inc. Born 29 April 1899 in Washington DC, composer, bandleader, and pianist Edward Kennedy ("Duke") Ellington was recognized in his lifetime as one of the greatest jazz composers and performers. Nicknamed "Duke" by a boyhood friend who admired his regal air, the name stuck and became indelibly associated with the finest creations in big band and vocal jazz. A genius for instrumental combinations, improvisation, and jazz arranging brought the world the unique "Ellington" sound that found consummate expression in works like "Mood Indigo," "Sophisticated Lady," and the symphonic suites Black, Brown, and Beige (which he subtitled "a Tone Parallel to the History of the Negro in America") and Harlem ("a Tone Parallel to Harlem"). Beginning keyboard studies at the age of seven, Ellington's earliest influences were the ragtime pianists. He taught himself harmony at the piano and at 17, made his professional debut. Encouraged by Fats Waller, he moved to New York in 1923 and, during the formative Cotton Club years, experimented with and developed the style that would quickly bring him worldwide success and recognition. Ellington would be among the first to focus on musical form and composition in jazz using ternary forms and "call-and-response" techniques in works like Concerto for Cootie (known in its familiar vocal version as Do Nothin' till You Hear from Me ) and Cotton Tail and classic symphonic devices in his orchestral suites. In this respect, he would influence the likes of Monk, Mingus, and Evans.

Even though the majority of his work was in popular jazz idioms, Ellington composed a small quantity of works for classical ensembles and one opera. His music has influenced many composers in a variety of idioms. Below is an essay from contributor, Richard V. Duffy, who is working on a book about Ellington. EDWARD "DUKE" ELLINGTON "THE ENTREPRENEUR OF COMPOSITION" In the year 1999, The Pulitzer Prize-Special Award was bestowed posthumously on Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington commemorating the centennial year of his birth, April 29, 1899; in recognition of his musical genius, which brought to the surface his sensitivity to art and beauty, for the principles of democracy-through the medium of jazz and popular music, made an indelible contribution to art and culture. By the time of his passing, and even before that, Ellington was viewed as one of the greatest of all composers and musicians. The French government honored him with the highest award, the Legion of Honor; the United States government bestowed upon him the highest civil honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The Duke was known to have entertained royalty, and, those whom abode in the more common idiom of life. By the end of his fifty-year entertainment span, Ellington had played over 20,000 performances-world wide....he was the Duke, the Duke of Ellington.

By the time of his passing, he was considered amongst the world’s greatest composers and musicians. The French government honored him with their highest award, the Legion of Honor, while the government of the United States bestowed upon him the highest civil honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He played for the royalty and for the common people and by the end of his 50-year career, he had played over 20,000 performances worldwide. He was The Duke, Duke Ellington. Duke was taken under the wings of Oliver "Doc" Perry and Louis Brown, who taught Duke how to read music and helped improve his overall piano playing skills. Duke found piano playing jobs at clubs and cafes throughout the Washington area. Three months shy of graduation, Duke dropped out of school and began his professional music career. In late 1917, Duke formed his first group: The Duke’s Serenaders. Between 1918 and 1919, Duke made three significant steps towards independence. First, he moved out of his parents’ home and into a home he bought for himself. Second, Duke became his own booking agent for his band. By doing so, Ellington’s band was able to play throughout the Washington area and into Virginia for private society balls and embassy parties. Finally, Duke married Edna Thompson and on March 11, 1919, Mercer Kennedy Ellington was born. In 1923, Duke left the security that Washington offered him and moved to New York. Through the power of radio, listeners throughout New York had heard of Duke Ellington, making him quite a popular musician. It was also in that year that Duke made his first recording. Ellington and his renamed band, The Washingtonians, established themselves during the prohibition era by playing at places like the Exclusive Club, Connie’s Inn, the Hollywood Club (Club Kentucky), Ciro’s, the Plantation Club, and most importantly the Cotton Club. Thanks to the rise in radio receivers and the industry itself, Duke’s band was broadcast across the nation live on "From the Cotton Club." The band’s music, along with their popularity, spread rapidly.

Photos: Reginald Jackson, at Yale University, 1972 In 1972 Duke Ellington, Eubie Blake, Dizzy Gillespie, Slam Stewart, Max Roach, Mary Lou Williams, Odetta, Dave Brubeck and many, many (See DE Fellows) other jazz musicians came to Yale to celebrate this "Conservatory Without Walls". Yale President Kingman Brewster awarded 32 Duke Ellington Medals to these icons. Since that time, 16 other great jazz musicians have received the medal. Materials in this website are largely from that initial summit of jazz musicians in 1972 at Yale University. In the twenty-five years since it was founded, the Duke Ellington Fellowship at Yale has come of age. Great American artists, themselves Ellington Fellows, regularly visit Yale and inner-city school classrooms each year for concerts and classwork. More the 150,000 New Haven school children have heard world class performances, received instruction, and been inspired by our program. While our major focus has been on jazz music played by great orchestras and soloists, Ellington Fellows also inlcude the master singer of spirituals, William Warfield; Joe Williams of the mighty blues tradition; great folk artists such as Odetta and Bessie Jones; and major performers of the American tap school. The Duke Ellington Fellowship's concerts are listed on the Yale School of Music Concert Calendar.

36. Duke Ellington's Washington: Virtual Tour Of Shaw Directory of local schools, theaters, and other local landmarks in the Shaw and U Street sections of Washingon, from PBS. http://www.pbs.org/ellingtonsdc/virtualTour.htm

The Shaw/Uptown area in Washington, DC is the neighborhood where Duke Ellington grew up and started his musical career. More than 20 years before the Harlem Renaissance, this strong African American community nurtured many great talents, and its buildings became physical representations of the community's great achievements. A stroll down the U Street corridor yields a rich cultural history that is still very evident today. Theaters, schools, and businesses of all kinds are thriving once again in a plan of urban renewal that can be used as a model for similar neighborhoods in other cities. Come take a tour of 14th and U streets with us to discover Shaw's rich past and explore the urban renaissance taking hold in a recently developed neighborhood now enjoying a process of rebirth. top Theaters Schools Other Landmarks ...
