Juan Tizol (31 December 1900 - 23 April 1984) was a Puerto Rican trombonist and composer.
He was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico and moved to the mainland United States in 1920. He trained as a valve trombonist and valide trombonist. He worked with Duke Ellington from 1929 to 1944. It was during this period that he composed Caravan and "Perdido". Ellington made much of his ability to move across a wide tonal range more quickly than a slide trombone in his arrangments. Caravan was often second on the Ellington set list. After leaving Ellington, he worked with the Harry James Orchestra in California, allowing him to see his wife more often. In 1951 he returned to Ellington along with James's drummer and alto saxophonist, in what became known as the "James raid". He left Ellington and retired from regular touring in 1953. In 1957 he was a guest on The Nat King Cole Show. For other uses, see San Juan. ... Year 1920 (MCMXX) was a leap year starting on Thursday (link will display 1920) of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Ebenso schrieb Ellington Tizol - für Zugposaunen technisch - schwere Stellen „auf den Leib“.
