Uno dei pochi specialisti del trombone a pistoni, Juan Tizol è un eccellente musicista di sezione. Ebbe il merito di apportare all’orchestra di Duke Ellington un tocco latino-americano grazie ad alcune composizioni che gli assicurato la celebrità: Caravan (1936), Conga Brava (1940), Perdido (1942).
