Swing Town is a traditional 20-piece big band hailing from Maplewood, NJ. Under the direction of Ben Williams, the group’s mission is to bring classic swing charts and modern jazz masterpieces to the residents of Maplewood and surrounding towns. The group rehearses twice a month at DeHart Community Center and performs several times a year, including two free concerts (winter and summer) and occasionally in night spots, restaurants, and at benefits for local charitable organizations. Swing Town is run by Maplewood Community Music, a non-profit organization that provides amateur and professional musicians performance opportunities while providing free music programming in Maplewood and other communities.
