Aloha,

I was perusing the latest JazzTimes issue on-line and was absolutely shocked 
to learn that Dave Love is out at Concord/Heads Up.  This just weeks after 
he was named President of the whole group.  This is particularly shocking, 
in light of Dave's track record in the industry.  In my view, he built his 
label (Heads Up) from the ground up, based upon a sincere concern for, and 
partnership with, the artists that he signed to his label.  Perhaps his 
background as a musician himself had a lot to do with this.  He has always 
been a great friend to radio, to the music industry, and to the "jazz 
family".  I am deeply saddened to learn of this change in management at 
Concord/Heads Up.  It seems a shame to me that Dave is no longer connected 
with the label that he built.  It seems ironic to me that, in an era that 
has seen the demise of some jazz labels, the axing of entire jazz 
departments at major labels, diminishing CD sales, a miniscule market share 
for jazz, etc., that Dave was one record company exec that could be pointed 
to as a huge success despite the odds - he obviously was doing something 
right.

Dave, mi hermano, if you are reading this, I hope you are doing ok, and I 
know that out of the ashes, something even better for you will arise.

The light is on, my friend.
