As I thought about his question for a moment, an impression kept fi nding its way back into my thoughts—and that notion was one of ‘Leadership.’ When I shared the ‘L-word’ with him, he simply smiled and told me that this was his sense of Phi Delta Theta as well. As Phikeia we often learn of the many ‘Phi Delt Firsts:’ the fi rst pledge pin, the fi rst magazine, the fi rst fraternity to expand West of the Mississippi River, etc. However, while being fi rst is nice, it does not necessarily defi ne leadership. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” To me this sums up the mind-set of leadership that Phi Delta Theta as an organization, and Phi Delts individually, have demonstrated throughout our Fraternity’s history. We have been, are presently, and will continue to be leaders of the Greek movement. For example, the General Council recently approved a long-range plan called ‘Phi Delt 2020’ which outlines six major strategic initiatives to accomplish by the year 2020. The overall stated vision of ‘Phi Delt 2020’ is “To be the premiere fraternal leadership development organization in North America.” Our vision is not to be one of many, our vision is to be the premiere organization in North America. For Phi Delta Theta, being the leader is what we are about. You will hear more about ‘Phi Delt 2020’ over the next decade as well as our strategic initiatives which include; Growth, Education; Chapter Support; Communication; Organizational Capacity and Funding. This issue of The Scroll is full of stories of Phis from our Phi Delt Nation who have taken this mantle of leadership seriously. Among these is former U.S. Secretary of State James A. Baker III. His leadership on so many issues of international importance, and over such a long period of time, demonstrates his unrelenting pursuit of a better world. In another piece you will read about an Iron Phi, Brother Sam Felsenfeld, who has run 61 marathons. For those who get regular updates on Phi Delta Theta through either Facebook, our RSS feed, or The Scroll Extra, you can regularly hear of the many Phis who are: supporting the “Building the Bond” fundraising campaign; Phis who are raising funds for disaster relief both at home and abroad; Phis who are demonstrating leadership on their campuses and in the classroom, in their professions, or on the athletic fi eld; and, Phis who are simply working to make their communities a better place to live. As is evidently clear to me, Phi Delts are simply leaders. I hope you enjoy reading this issue of The Scroll, and I hope you take pride in belonging to a brotherhood that takes its role of leadership seriously. Yours in the Bond, M.

  • Snarky Puppy – Live at the Royal Albert Hall
    Snarky Puppy – Live At The Royal Albert Hall (50:22 + 48:57, 2 CD, 3 LP, GroundUp Music, 2020) Erstaunlich, welche Acts abseits des allgemeinen Mainstreams mittlerweile die Royal Albert Hall füllen. Es gibt also doch noch Hoffnung für den guten Geschmack. Das formidable amerikanische Musikerkollektiv Snarky Puppy um Bandleader Michael League machte auf seiner Tour im letzten Jahr ebenfalls in der altehrwürdigen Veranstaltungsstätte in London Halt. Bei diesem Livealbum stand logischerweise der Fokus auf dem letzten Studioalbum „Immigrance„, welches gleich mit sechs Songs vertreten ist. Die Setlist fokussiert sich trotz der inzwischen recht umfangreichen Diskografie der Amerikaner neben dem Material von ‚Immigrance‘ lediglich auf weiteres Material aus den Alben „We Like It Here“ (2014), „Culcha Vulcha“ (2016), sowie überraschenderweise zwei Songs aus der wesentlich jazzigeren Frühphase „The World Is Getting Smaller“ (2007), die aber wesentlich luftiger und dem sonstigen Material angepasst daherkommen. Warum sich Snarky Puppy über die Jahre mittlerweile eine recht breite, teils altersmäßig sehr junge Fanbasis erspielt haben, liegt vor allem im differenzierten Stilmix begründet, der sich eben recht weit außerhalb des reinen Jazz bzw. Jazz Rocks bewegt. Da sind Elemente aus Rock, Funk, R&B, Soul, Latin, Electronic oder World Music zu vernehmen, zudem vorangetrieben durch feingliedrige, mitreißende Rhythmik und sehr lässiges Feeling. Die sehr große Besetzung versteht sich immer als Einheit und z.B. trotz der vierfachen(!) Keyboardpower wirkt hier nichts überladen, sondern immer exakt auf den Punkt gebracht. Zudem gelingt es, moderne Klangästhetik mit herrlich analogen Sounds aus den Keyboardburgen zu vereinen, die bisweilen durch messerscharfe Bläsersätze gewürzt werden. Die Band interpretiert das Songmaterial im Vergleich zu den Ursprungsversionen keineswegs anders oder bricht die Songstrukturen komplett auf, dafür werden jedoch die Soloparts beliebig verändert bzw.

  • Snarky Puppy – Immigrance
    Snarky Puppy – Immigrance (54:25, CD, GroundUp Music, 2019) Frei nach dem Monty Python-Motto „And now for something completely different“, lohnt sich ab und zu der Blick über den eigenen progressiven Tellerrand – jedenfalls, wenn man dabei auf ein Künstlerkollektiv wie Snarky Puppy stößt. Bereits 2004 vom Bassisten/Komponisten/Produzente n Michael League aus der Taufe gehoben, gehören zu dieser instrumentalen Jazz Rock/Fusion-Formation wechselnde Mitglieder und Besetzungen (inzwischen ein Pool aus mehr als 40(!) Musikern). Mittlerweile gelang es dieser Formation auch, sich durch unzählige Touren eine recht große Fanbasis zu erspielen und ein gewisser kommerzieller Erfolg hat sich eingestellt. Selbst wer beim Wort Jazz schon gedanklich abschaltet, sollte hier mal reinhören, wird man beim ersten Anhören von der Energie der ansteckenden Musik doch regelrecht mitgerissen. Mit dem in Utrecht vor Studiopublikum mitgeschnittenen „We Like It Here“ (2014) (perfekt geeignet als musikalische Snarky Puppy Einstiegsdroge) gelang der endgültige Durchbruch, mit dem renommierten niederländischenMetropole Orkest eingespielten „Sylva“ (2016) gewann man denGrammy für zeitgenössische Instrumentalmusik, was man mit dem unter dem Snarky Puppy Banner eingespielten „Culcha Vulcha“ (2017) nochmals wiederholte.
