Said Weiss: “I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Tom for the past 18 years. He is a very talented executive with that rare combination of creative sensibility and business sense. I look forward to his continuing contributions to Zomba’s success. And he brews a mean cup of java.”

Added Carrabba: “My 18 years with Zomba have been filled with an enormous amount of personal gratification. The entrepreneurial spirit that has always underpinned the Zomba culture continues to this day, and is responsible for the success Zomba has garnered. I look forward to continuing to work with a real record man like Barry Weiss, along with the rest of my colleagues at the Zomba Label Group, as well as running the weekly point-spread pool during football season.”
