Tommy LiPuma had a long history with Universal Music Group (UMG), notably having served as both Chairman and subsequently, Chairman Emeritus of the Verve Music Group from 1998-2011—one of the many pinnacles in his esteemed career in the music industry. The Verve Label Group family is saddened by the loss of their dear friend and colleague, and sends their deepest condolences to the LiPuma family.

His talent, integrity, compassion for others and passion for musical excellence will be missed beyond words.” —Jamie Krents, SVP International Marketing & Label Development, Verve Label Group
