While many books have been written about the Playboy organization and the ultimate play- boy himself, Hugh Hefner, no book—until this one—has focused specifically on Playboy and the music scene, its impact on popular entertainment (and vice versa), and the performers who took to the stages of the mythic Playboy Clubs and Jazz Festivals. Playboy Swings is an informative look at Playboy through a new lens: music. Highlights include Playboy’s club performers and its music festivals.
