A supposed continuation of Swing: The Guide to Modern Music, Swing: Devoted to Modern Music was published and edited by Barney B. Leventhal, a former employee of the previous publication. After the previous journal declared bankruptcy, Leventhal reestablished publication of a journal for swing music and dance, but adding music instrument manufacturing in order to increase the potential for advertising. [See Swing: Devoted to Modern Music 7, no. 1: 3] The format of the previous journal was maintained, with copious illustrated articles on big bands, band leaders, swing styles, and musicians, with an orientation towards publicity.
Swing: Devoted to Modern Music curiously begins with vol. 7 no. 1, numbering which bears no relation to its intended continuation of the previous magazine. After only three issues, the second Swing ceased publication after the previous publisher, Richard M. George, sued Leventhal and the United States entered the Second World War.
