The Swing BookSwing is King again. Louis Prima is the last word in cool; new bands like the Brian Setzer Orchestra and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy are jumping the charts; and across the country crowds are once more packing the dance floor. The Swing Book is a complete guide to swing, from back in the day to today's new scene - everything you need to know about what to listen to, where to dance, how to dress, and how to move.

DEGEN PENER worked as a staff writer for Entertainment Weekly and as a columnist for the New York Times.
