@vinyltovideo - sorry to say, you're wrong. "Frenesi" is a musical piece originally composed by Alberto Dominguez for the marimba, and adapted as a jazz standard by Leonard Whitcup and others. A hit version recorded by Artie Shaw (with an arrangement by William Grant Still) reached number one on the Billboard pop chart on December 21, 1940 - on RCA. Artie was a true great, influencing Acker Bilk and Pete Fountain - if you listen, you'll hear Artie's style in their music!

This is a Mexican song composed by Alberto Dominguez and Mr. Shaw's interpretation is beautiful.

@iajoe sounds like big band, not swing. specifically, it's considered simply jazz according to wikipedia.

@teknokrat1 : This song is from the Swing Era. That era began in 1935.

@iajoe how does this sound like swing to you?

June 25th 1944 Leiston, England Plane: N357FG "Frenesi"  The silence of the morning was ended abruptly by the revving of the Packard V-1650 Rolls Royce engine. Suddenly my headset was booming with traffic, Frenesi was playing. I forgot the war for a mere second, my dream ended by the sounds of cannon fire. I pulled on the stick and banked hard to the left. My sights found the target, with its metallic wings glistening in the morning sun. I fired. The sky became hell. Frenesi played on.

It's one of the best swing songs ever.
