## History

The club was established in 1983 by jazz saxophonist Fred Anderson who owned the business until his death in 2010. Many live albums were recorded at the club, including a series of performances featuring Anderson himself, on the Delmark label, and 1998's Live at the Velvet Lounge with Anderson, Peter Kowald, and Hamid Drake. Many prominent musicians played the Velvet Lounge early in their careers, particularly in Sunday night jam sessions. The club's standard lineup of the early 1990s featured trumpeter Billy Brimfield [de], saxophonist Art Taylor, pianist Jim Baker [de], bassist Mike Cristol [de], and drummer Gerald Donovan [de]. From the mid 1990s, the "Velvet Graduates" house band included tenor saxophonist David Boykin [de], baritone saxophonist Aaron Getsug [de], alto saxophonist Greg Ward [de] II, bassist Karl E. H. Seigfried, and drummer Isaiah Spencer [de]. After Anderson's death, the club was purchased by a neighboring business which ended the jazz performances and instead presented DJs, hip hop music, and comedians.
In 2013, Mike Reed founded the Constellation club, in part to fill the void left after the Velvet Lounge closed.

## Taxonomy

A species of Verticordia, the featherflowers, assigned to a section of the genus Verticordia sect. Verticordella. The type was collected in 2018 at a location reported imprecisely as Baladjie.

It occurs on flats around salt lakes amongst other halophytes forming heath communities, species of Maireana, Gunniopsis and Frankenia, associated with Callitris.

# Victor Smorgon

Victor Smorgon AC (2 January 1913 – 3 July 2009) was an Australian industrialist, arts patron and benefactor, who was founder and former head of the Victor Smorgon Group.

## Biography

Smorgon was born in 1913 in Heidelberg, a German settlement in Ukraine, then part of the Russian Empire. His father, Naum (Norman) Smorgon, ran a kosher butcher shop until the business was nationalized in 1927, with the Smorgon family emigrating to Australia later that year. Naum Smorgon and his brothers resumed the family's kosher butchery in the Melbourne suburb of Carlton North, and Victor entered the wholesale meat business. The success of Victor's meat importing business saw the entire family become involved in the company, and soon Smorgon Consolidated Industries expanded its business to cover plastics, glass, steel and recycling.
By 1995, the collective worth of Smorgon Consolidated Industries' interests in steel, paper, plastics, packaging and property had been estimated at between A$1.2 billion and $1.5 billion. In February of that year, the Smorgon family decided to divest the company (with the exception of the Smorgon Steel Group, Australia's second-largest steel producer, which was floated publicly). The proceeds of the SCI sale were distributed among the seven branches of the Smorgon family in Australia, and re-invested or used to purchase new holdings under the umbrella of the Victor Smorgon Group.

## Personal life

In 1937, he married Loti Smorgon in the East Melbourne Synagogue; they had four daughters: Sandra Smorgon Bardas, Ginny Smorgon Green, Vicki Smorgon Vidor and Bindy Smorgon Koadlow. Smorgon died in Melbourne, Australia, on 3 July 2009 aged 96.
