Swing 46 is one of the last swingin supper clubs out of the neo/retro swing era. Born on Restaurant Row in Manhattan, it is still going some 27 years later. “Swing 46: The Last Swingin Supper Club” is a short documentary developed at Montclair State University that gives a snapshot of the overall impact of this key music venue as well as the nationwide swing movement of music, community, history, culture, passion, style, and humanity that brought so many together to swing out like a wildfire! Featuring vintage and modern swing music, photos, and videos as well as live performance footage from Swing 46, memorabilia, and interviews from 16 key figures of the retro swing era spread across several states on the east coast of the United States, “Swing 46: The Last Swingin Supper Club” will have you hooked from the first beat until the final dance!
