AFRICA IS A COUNTRY

Juan Tizol was a trombone player, but a composer too (and a borinqueño of course).

Here’s he doing his now classic tune, “Caravan,” with the Duke. This film was recorded in 1952. Ellington and Tizol first performed the song together in 1937.

I’m running like a headless chicken, so not posting much. I’ll have more posts later tonight.
