Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres begin at 6:30 pm at the historic Orpheus Club at 254 S. Van Pelt Street in Center City, Philadelphia. • At the banquet we will officially initiate the Sphinx Class of 2017 and Honorary Sphinx member Dr. J. Larry Jameson. Dr. Jameson has served since 2011 as the Executive Vice President of the University of Pennsylvania for the Health System and the 36th Dean of the Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine.

D. and 2016 Honorary Sphinx Inductee • On Friday, April 22, 2016, Dr. Vincent Price, Provost, Penn’s chief academic officer since 2009, invited the Sphinx Class of 2016 to have lunch with him. As thanks, the Class of 2016 also inducted Dr. Price as an Honorary Member of the Society. For Dr. Price’s distinguished bio click here: https://provost.upenn.edu/about/vincentprice • At the lunch, Dr. Price talked about the importance of an interdisciplinary education, the role the city of Philadelphia plays at Penn, how Penn can go about improving educational opportunities and the city at large, and Penn's expanding global footprint and influence, in particular with the Penn Wharton China Center. • Dr. Price also mentioned his long-term vision for Penn as a place that continues to harness the benefits of MOOCS (massive open online courses) to bring the benefits of 3 Penn education to millions across the globe and as a place that experiments outside of traditional means of teaching through semester long, lecture courses. • Dr. Price advised the Sphinx Class of 2016 to follow its passions and assured the class that if it thought Penn was the best four years of its lives so far, the Sphinx Class of 2016 would only continue to grow, learn, and enjoy life even more. • Penn Provost Vincent Price and a 2016 Sphinx Honorary Member wears his Sphinx cap and pin as he makes the Sphinx sign with members of the Sphinx Class of 2016 on April 24, 2016. • At the Spring Banquet, we’ll also honor members of the Sphinx Class of 1966 who will celebrate their 50th Penn reunion during Alumni Weekend, May 13-16, 2016. In March and April 2016, 10 members of the Sphinx Class of 1966 also contributed $1550 to the Sphinx Alumni Fund to support the undergraduate Sphinx membership. • Here also is a list of 27 Sphinx Alumni who contributed $100 or more to our successful Spring 2016 fundraising campaign to reduce to $100 dues for the incoming members of the Sphinx Class of 2017: 4 Sphinx Alumni 2016 Sponsors* Adam Behrens, '11 Louise Borke, '76 Sharie A.

  • The Twenty Greatest Music Concerts I've Ever Seen
    THE TWENTY GREATEST MUSIC CONCERTS I'VE EVER SEEN Whew, I'm done. Let me remind everyone how this worked. I would go through my Ipod in that weird Ipod alphabetical order and when I would come upon an artist that I have seen live, I would replay that concert in my head. (BTW, since this segment started I no longer even have an ipod. All my music is on my laptop and phone now.) The number you see at the end of the concert description is the number of times I have seen that artist live. If it was multiple times, I would do my best to describe the one concert that I considered to be their best. If no number appears, it means I only saw that artist once. Mind you, I have seen many artists live that I do not have a song by on my Ipod. That artist is not represented here. So although the final number of concerts I have seen came to 828 concerts (wow, 828!), the number is actually higher. And there are "bar" bands and artists (like LeCompt and Sam Butera, for example) where I have seen them perform hundreds of sets, but I counted those as "one," although I have seen Lecompt in "concert" also. Any show you see with the four stars (****) means they came damn close to being one of the Top Twenty, but they fell just short. So here's the Twenty. Enjoy and thanks so much for all of your input. And don't sue me if I have a date wrong here and there.

  • Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 by Jeffery S
    Delightfulee Jeffrey S. McMillan University of Michigan Press Lee Morgan Chronology 1956–1972 By Jeffery S. McMillan This is an annotated listing of all known Lee Morgan performances and all recordings (studio, live performances, broadcasts, telecasts, and interviews). The titles of studio recordings are given in bold and preceded by the name of the session leader. Recordings that appear to be lost are prefaced with a single asterisk in parentheses: (*). Recordings that have been commercially issued have two asterisks: **. Recordings that exist on tape but have never been commercially released have two asterisks in parentheses: (**). Any video footage known to survive is prefaced with three asterisks: ***. Video footage that was recorded but appears to now be lost is prefaced with three asterisks in parentheses: (***). On numerous occasions at Slugs’ Saloon in Manhattan, recording devices were set up on the stage and recorded Morgan’s performances without objection from the trumpeter. So far, none of these recordings have come to light. The information herein is a collation of data from newspapers, periodicals, published and personal interviews, discographies, programs, pamphlets, and other chronologies of other artists. Morgan’s performances were rarely advertised in most mainstream papers, so I drew valuable information primarily from African-American newspapers and jazz periodicals, which regularly carried ads for nightclubs and concerts. Entertainment and nightlife columnists in the black press, such as “Woody” McBride, Masco Young, Roland Marsh, Jesse Walker, Art Peters, and Del Shields, provided critical information, often verifying the personnel of an engagement or whether an advertised appearance occurred or was cancelled. Newspapers that I used include the Baltimore Afro-American (BAA), Cleveland Call & Post (C&P), Chicago Defender (CD), New Jersey Afro-American (NJAA), New York Amsterdam News (NYAN), Philadelphia Tribune (PT), and Pittsburgh Courier (PC).
