Just as Spotify's Troy Carter was joined by a group of industry heavyweights during UJA's Music Visionary of the Year wingding, they were photobombed by none other than streamery chief Daniel Ek. "I didn't think I'd make it," Ek explained, "but they said there'd be gravlax." Seen before Troy was carried around in a chair to the strains of Spotify's Hot Klezmer Hits playlist are (l-r) Sony/ATV Co-Prez Rick Krim, Warner/Chappell topper Jon Platt, RIAA chief Cary Sherman, BMI's Charlie Feldman, Ek, Carter, UMG EVP Michele Anthony, Hitco's Charles Goldstuck, super-attorney Joel Katz of Greenberg Traurig, Glassnote boss/event chair Daniel Glass, Warner Bros. Co-Chairman/COO Tom Corson and Recording Academy head Neil Portnow.
