Track:
Jimmy Kennedy and Michael Carr wrote "South of the Border" in 1939 describing the allure of picaresque Mexico. The arrangement is hard driving swing with a vigorous and pulsating big band playing. Note Charlie Shavers gets the muted trumpet solo that is full of incendiary flames. Then Dorsey gets his swinging trombone side blazing for a few choruses with ensemble passages providing the needed strong support.
