Caravan è un famoso standard jazz composto da Juan Tizol e Duke Ellington ed eseguito per la prima volta da Duke Ellington nel 1937. Il testo fu composto da Irving Mills. Il carattere suggestivo e medio-orientale del tema fa sì che venga spesso ripreso come commento musicale a scene "esotiche".

[en] Caravan (Juan Tizol and Duke Ellington song)
"Caravan" is an American jazz standard that was composed by Juan Tizol and Duke Ellington and first performed by Ellington in 1936. Irving Mills wrote lyrics, but they are rarely sung. The sad sound of "Caravan" interested exotica musicians; Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman, and Gordon Jenkins all covered it. Woody Allen used the song in two of his films, Alice and Sweet and Lowdown. Steven Soderbergh used the Lyman version in his 2001 film Ocean's Eleven. The song appears often in the 2014 film Whiplash as an important plot element. The Mills Brothers recorded an a cappella version in which they imitated instruments with their voices. Johnny Mathis recorded the song in 1956. More than 350 versions have been recorded.[1]- [it] Caravan (brano musicale)
