IB on Doug's team
THE EMPEROR’S GENERALS: Like Napoleon poised for his escape from Elba, Doug Morris has been sitting in his rented Midtown office suite planning his return, even as the new, improved Sony Music continues to advance its league-leading marketshare, which is 32.2% in new releases and 30.5% overall year-to-date. The rumor du jour involves the identities of those executives who will play key roles on Morris’ team, with Joe Riccitelli and Tom Corson said to be headed to Peter Edge’s RCA/Jive, while Richard Palmese, Tom Carrabba and Ivan Gavin are also believed to have seats at the table.
