Juan Tizol
Juan Tizol (22 January 1900 – 23 April 1984) was a Puerto Rican trombonist and composer. He is best known as a member of Duke Ellington's band, and as the co-writer of the jazz standards "Caravan", "Pyramid" and "Perdido".
Biography
Tizol was born in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico. Music was a large part of his life from an early age. His first instrument was the violin, but he soon switched to valve trombone, the instrument he would play throughout his career. His musical training came mostly from his uncle Manuel Tizol, who was the director of the municipal band and the symphony in San Juan. Throughout his youth, Juan played in his uncle’s band and also gained experience by playing in local operas, ballets and dance bands. In 1920, Juan joined a band that was traveling to the United States to work in Washington D.C. The group eventually made it to Washington (traveling as stowaways) and established residence at the Howard Theater where they played for touring shows and silent movies. At the Howard they also were hired to play in small jazz or dance groups. This is where Tizol first came in contact with Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington.

John
There's rain on my door step
I've got music in my mind
Time on my hands to sit and wonder why
In this world of dark angels
And blood ridden reapers
With money and the power of life
They live as our keepers
I want to be alone today
Cause that's where I feel safe
Alone in the rain
The sadness numbs the pain everyday
They give you golden promises
The knowlegde of the ages
Speaking in tongues, golden wings rosey faces
I saw the wart on TV today
A speech for all, but nothing to say
And I wonder, why- I ask myself
Why, I believe well it looks
Like I've been deceived
I want to be alone today
Cause that's where I feel safe
Alone in the rain
The sadness numbs the pain
Do you know your same
All alone in the rain we're all the same
