A statue of Duke Ellington, who sits at a piano. The keyboard turns into a musical staff as it swoops upward, getting larger as it reaches up toward the sky in a large curve (almost like the letter C). It wraps around a large treble clef which stands behind the Ellington figure and is a little larger than twice his size. The entire piece is stainless steel and rests on a rectangular black granite base. He is seated on the bottom of the treble clef and is wearing a suit jacket and flared pants, with his left hand on the piano and his right arm lifted with his index finger pointing toward his left.
