The monument depicts Duke Ellington at a piano, supported by three columns depicting three caryatids each, known as his nine muses. It was cast in 1997 and dedicated on July 1 of that year.[1][2] Pianist Bobby Short conceived of the memorial in 1979; it was the first statue erected in Ellington's honor in the United States.[3]
