Newsletter Duke Ellington Memorial Dedicated in Harlem Sculptor Robert Graham Duke Ellington Memorial The sculpture after unveiling In a ceremony crowded with New York politicians and dotted with an artist or two, Robert Graham's Duke Ellington Memorial was unveiled on the northeast corner of Central Park on July 1, 1997. A pleasanter gathering could hardly have been imagined, as the Loren Schoenberg Big Band played selections from the Ellington repertoire, including Jack the Bear and Take the A Train, while dignitaries and residents of the Harlem neighborhood mingled in the noon-time sun. The gala celebration marked the first-ever New York City monument to a black artist, the first memorial in the U.S. to Ellington and the first New York public-art commission for Graham. The Ellington project has been in the works since 1979, when the pianist Bobby Short conceived of the memorial and began raising the approximately $1 million in funds for it. Done in black patinated bronze, the 25-foot-tall memorial stands like a kind of guardian figure, facing outward at the uptown gateway to Central Park and Harlem at Fifth Avenue and 110th Street. The work features an eight-foot-tall sculpture of Ellington standing next to an open grand piano. The tableau is supported by three 10-foot-tall minimalist columns, atop of which stand a total of nine nude caryatid figures representing the muses. It is centered within the Duke Ellington Circle, two semicircular plazas that are gently stepped to form an amphitheater suitable for performances.

American composer, bandleader, and pianist Duke Ellington endures as perhaps the most important pioneer in big-band jazz. Ellington and his orchestra shared a special interdependent relationship: Using the band as his musical workshop, Ellington derived his orchestra’s tone coloring from the unique sound qualities of the group’s individual players. This particular style was later dubbed the “Ellington Effect” by jazz arranger Billy Strayhorn, who also wrote one of the band’s signature tunes, “Take the A Train” (1941), heard here.

Claude Bolling in accordance with Caid Music Claude Bolling is a world famous French jazz pianist, composer, arranger and conductor, who virtually defined the concept of jazz-classical crossover with his groundbreaking work "Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano" (CBS) which stayed Number 1 on the US Billboard's charts for a phenomenal 464 weeks ! His works are also very important in film music with more than a hundred compositions to his credit ! Claude Bolling is often referred to as "Duke Ellington's spiritual son", not only because he was a protege and close friend of the jazz legend, but because he is the best living interpreter of Ellington's sound. As a player, his skill with the keyboard and deep feeling about his music is immediately heard and as an entertainer, it is always very apparent that this man actually enjoys communicating with audience members and bringing them to their feet ! Three formulas available - big band (Claude Bolling + 18) - quintet (Claude Bolling + doublebass + drums/percussions + trumpet/bugle + saxophone/clarinet - "classical and jazz" trio (Claude Bolling + doublebass + drums/percussions)

Duke Ellington Edward Kennedy (Duke) Ellington began as a stride pianist, and matured into a composer/arranger who was comfortable in a wide range of ensembles from piano and bass duo, to large orchestras. In 1927 his band became house band at the Cotton Club, a position he kept for five years. His popular hits like "Satin Doll" and "Mood Indigo" provided a firm financial base, allowing him to have musicians available to try out his arrangements at all times. He was an influence to others with his unique melodic gifts, his harmonic innovations, and his daring use of odd intervals. He demonstrated how well swing worked with the most contemporary jazz styles of the generation which followed him. (b. 4/29/1899 Washington, D.C., d. 5/24/74 New York) Has jazz been incorporated into European music? Are jazz styles frozen in time? Was the harmonic content of jazz influenced by European classical music? I want to know more about Duke Ellington Duke Ellington appeared on cover of Time magazine on August 20, 1956.

Home Overview Treasure Talks Object Checklist (Current) ... Credits Exhibition Sections: Top Treasures Memory Reason Imagination Sophisticated Gentleman William P. Gottlieb (b. 1917) [Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington] Gelatin silver print, ca. 1947 During the late 1930s The Washington Post was hesitant to pay staff photographers for the late-night hours required to accompany the paper's novice music columnist William Gottlieb on his postshow interviews with jazz musicians at various Washington, D.C., nightclubs. So Gottlieb, inspired by the new photojournalism of Life magazine, learned to take his own photographs. He covered the jazz and blues scene first for The Washington Post and later for Down Beat. He captured this image of Duke Ellington's charismatic presence after a performance at New York's Paramount Theater in the late 1940s. Ellingtonhis reflection caught in a dressing room mirrorlooks fully the part of an American musical giant: debonair and handsome. Creator of such distinctive yet iconic classics as "Mood Indigo," "Sophisticated Lady," and "Satin Doll," Ellington considered his music as both personal expression and a continuation and reaffirmation of the African-American musical heritage. The Gottlieb Photographic Collection contains approximately fifteen hundred images of eminent jazz musicians including Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Thelonious Monk, and was purchased with funds from a bequest of Ira and Leonore Gershwin for use by the Music Division.

All who have attended one of these schools are urged to come in, look around, and learn a bit more about past and present happenings at their old school, as well as about some of our more prominent classmates. Check on reunion plans for your class. Leave a message or query. Western High School was established in 1890, holding classes first in Curtis School, with two teachers and 50 students. The school moved to a new building on the site at 35th and R Streets NW in October 1897, where over the years Western won a national reputation as a school of academic excellence. By the late 1970’s a declining school age population threatened closure of the majestic but aged building, but a new program - the Duke Ellington School of the Performing Arts had begun to use some of the space available at Western. When the DC School Board made the inevitable decision to close Western with the class of 1977, the grand old building became the home of Washington’s first public school program for the arts. Named in honor of DC’s own Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington, the Duke Ellington School of the Arts, by combining public and private funding to provide both academic and arts curricula, has become a national treasure. Renovated for this new career with a restored auditorium, a large dance studio, and exhibit space, the school offers musical and theater productions, dance recitals, and art exhibits open to the public throughout the year.
