Duke Ellington Circle, formerly Frawley Circle, is named for the legendary jazz musician. The circle’s most prominent feature is a 25-foot statue of Duke Ellington and a grand piano supported by the Muses, designed by Robert Graham. In addition to the new plaza and sculpture, the project reconstructed a stretch of Fifth Avenue from 109th to 111th streets, including new water mains, roadway surfaces, curbs, and sidewalks.

American Pianist, bandleader and Songwriter Duke Ellington (1899–1974) was an originator of big-band jazz, and created one of the most distinctive ensemble sounds in Western music. He composed thousands of scores over his 50-year career and continued to play until shortly before he died in 1974.
Duke Ellington was born in 1899 in Washington, D.C. He was raised by two talented, musical parents in a middle-class neighbourhood. At the age of 7, he began studying piano and earned the nickname 'Duke' for his gentlemanly ways. Inspired by his job as a soda jerk at the Poodle Dog Cafe, he wrote his first composition, Soda Fountain Rag, at the age of 15. He created it by ear because he had not yet learned to read and write music. Despite being awarded an art scholarship to the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, Ellington followed his passion for ragtime and began to play professionally at age 17. In late 1917, he formed his first group, 'The Duke's Serenaders'. He moved to Harlem, ultimately becoming part of the Harlem Renaissance. New dance crazes like the Charleston emerged in Harlem, as well as African-American musical theatre. From 1924 on, Ellington performed in Broadway nightclubs as the bandleader of a sextet, a group which in time grew to a 10-piece ensemble. From 1927 on, he gained a national profile through his orchestra's appearances at the legendary Cotton Club in Harlem. With a weekly radio broadcast, the Cotton Club's exclusively white and wealthy clientele poured in nightly to see them. At the Cotton Club, Ellington's group performed all the music for the revues, which mixed comedy, dance numbers, vaudeville, burlesque, music, and illegal alcohol. In 1929, the Cotton Club Orchestra appeared on stage for several months in Florenz Ziegfeld's Show Girl, along with vaudeville stars Jimmy Durante, Eddie Foy, Jr., Ruby Keeler, and with music and lyrics by George Gershwin and Gus Kahn.
Duke Ellington made hundreds of recordings with his bands, appeared in films and on the radio, and toured Europe on two occasions in the 1930s. Ellington's film work began with Black and Tan (1929), a nineteen-minute all-African-American RKO short in which he played the hero Duke. He also appeared in the Amos 'n' Andy film Check and Double Check (1930). Ivie Anderson was hired as their featured vocalist in 1931. She is the vocalist on It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) (1932) among other recordings. Ellington and his Orchestra also appeared in the films Murder at the Vanities (Mitchell Leisen, 1934) and Belle of the Nineties (Leo McCarey, 1934), featuring Mae West. The short film Symphony in Black (Fred Waller, 1935) featured his extended piece A Rhapsody of Negro Life. It introduced Billie Holiday and won an Academy Award as the best musical short subject. While the band's United States audience remained mainly African-American in this period, the Ellington orchestra had a huge following overseas, exemplified by the success of their trip to England in 1933 and their 1934 visit to the European mainland. Ellington's fame rose to the rafters in the 1940s when he composed several masterworks, including Concerto for Cootie, Cotton Tail and Ko-Ko. His blend of melodies, rhythms and subtle sonic movements gave audiences a new experience—complex yet accessible jazz that made the heart swing. He preferred to call it 'American Music'. During the early 1950s, Ellington's career was at a low point, with his style being generally seen as outmoded. Ellington's appearance at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1956 returned him to wider prominence and introduced him to a new generation of fans. Ellington began to work directly on scoring for film soundtracks, in particular Anatomy of a Murder (Otto Preminger, 1959), with James Stewart, in which Ellington appeared fronting a roadhouse combo, and Paris Blues (Martin Ritt, 1961), which featured Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier as jazz musicians. Ellington earned 12 Grammy awards from 1959 to 2000, nine while he was alive. At the age of 19, Ellington married Edna Thompson, who had been his girlfriend since high school, and soon after their marriage, she gave birth to their only child, Mercer Kennedy Ellington. In 1928, Ellington became the companion of Mildred Dixon, who travelled with him, managed Tempo Music, inspired songs at the peak of his career and raised his son Mercer. In 1938, he left his family and moved in with Cotton Club employee Beatrice 'Evie' Ellis. The relationship with Ellis, though stormy, continued after Ellington met Fernanda de Castro Monte in the early 1960s. Ellington supported both women for the rest of his life. In 1974, at the age of 75, Duke Ellington died of lung cancer and pneumonia. His last words were, "Music is how I live, why I live and how I will be remembered." Following Duke's death, his son Mercer took over leadership of the orchestra, continuing until his own death in 1996.

Ivy Duke (9 June 1896 – 8 November 1937) was a British actress. Born in Kensington, London, as Ivy Elsie Duke, she was already an established stage actress, appearing regularly in the light musical confections associated with George Edwardes’ Gaiety Theatre, when she began her film career in 1919. She took part among others in the movies The March Hare (Frank Miller, 1919) and The Double Life of Mr. Alfred Burton (Arthur Rooke, 1919), produced by George Clark for Lucky Cat Productions, and distributed by Ideal Films. Already in her third film, I Will (Kenelm Foss, 1919), she was paired with Guy Newall, who earlier on had co-written her first film The March Hare. Late 1919 Lucky Cat Productions became George Clark Productions, and Stoll Pictures - the biggest renter in the 1920s - became the distributor. The company founded its own studio complex at Beaconsfield.
After a period of being the star couple directed by others, Guy Newall became also Duke's director. In the 1920s Duke reached the apex of her film career, taking part in productions like Testimony (Newall, 1920), The Bigamist (Newall, 1921), Beauty and the Beast (Newall, 1922) and Fox Farm (Newall, 1922). In 1922 Duke married Newall too, but seven years after the marriage ended in divorce. Their last film together was The Starlit Garden (Newall, 1923).
In her last films, Duke worked with other directors and male leads: The Great Prince Shan (A.E. Coleby, 1924) with Sessue Hayakawa, Decameron Nights (Herbert Wilcox, 1924) with an international cast including Lionel Barrymore and Werner Krauss, and, with an interval of several years, her last film: the Anglo-German co-production A Knight in London (Lupu Pick, 1928) with Lilian Harvey, cinematography by Karl Freund, and edited by Michael Powell. The female lead was for Harvey, Duke played her mother. It's all about a woman who accidentally awakes in a man's hotel bed. With the rise of the sound film, Ivy Duke retired from the film business. Few years later, she died at the age of only 41.
As the site At the Pictures writes: "A reasonable number of their films survive in the BFI National Archive, and several have been screened at the British Silent Film Festival over the years, including Fox Farm from the novel by Warwick Deeping about the romance between a gypsy girl and a blinded farmer, Boy Woodburn from the novel by Alfred Oliphant about a lady horse trainer and her romance with a penniless banker, and Maid of the Silver Sea from the novel by John Oxenham about romance and murder in a Breton fishing community (actually filmed on Sark). Perhaps the most widely seen is The Lure of Crooning Water {...]. In the Lure of Crooning Water Ivy Duke plays a London stage actress who, suffering from nervous collapse goes into the countryside for a ‘rest cure’ and amuses herself while there by seducing the married farmer (played by Newall) who has been acting as her host. (this reminds a bit of Murnau's Sunrise] The Garden of Resurrection, from the novel by E. Temple Thurston reverses this pattern – this time it is Newall who is suffering from extreme depression brought on by his sense of his own ugliness. He goes for a ‘rest cure’ visiting some friends who live surrounded idyllic garden in rural Ireland (although the film was shot in Cornwall). There he meets Ivy Duke….

The Duke Ambassadors were an independent, student run, dance band founded by Sonny Burke in 1934 that was a staple of the Duke University social scene for thirty years.

Duke was the second wife of actor Guy Newall (1885–1937), a British stage and, from 1915, also screen actor, who after World War I, formed a production company, Lucky Cat Films (which later became George Clark Productions, based at Beaconsfield), in conjunction with producer and cameraman George Clark. He directed many of his own films from 1920, also occasionally sidelining as a scenario writer. He often co-starred with Duke.
