Trapane Crossing: Capitol Dir./Southwest Promotion John Trapane is crossing the hall to handle that region for UMG/Nashville sister imprint EMI Nashville. He succeeds Jimmy Rector, who was working a combined MW/SW territory prior to being elevated to VP for the label two weeks ago (CAT 10/26). Trapane was PD of WDTW/Detroit when he joined Capitol in Jan. 2009; congratulate him here. Capitol SVP/Promotion Steve Hodges is seeking Trapane's replacement. If you're interested in this plum gig, get your resume here asap.
