Jerome Moss

I remember picking jerry up from the airport in 1960 when he first came to L.A. I thought WOW a cool cousin as I was only 7 years old. he slept at our house for like a year. he slept on my bed and me in a sleeping bag on the floor. we talked all night and listened to my transistor radio. after I got out of the Navy he hired me to drive the A&M delivery van. I will always appreciate the generosity. Wished we could have been closer/ wished I could've said Thank You one last time.. RIP Jerry... lotsa love / Mike

My favorite horse owner for 30 years. Rest in peace Jerry.

I am a first cousin, once removed, from Jerry. My father Marty was extremely close to Jerry and his brother Freddy when they were growing up. I heard so many stories about their antics and my father treasured these memories. When A&M was in its nascent stage, my dad recalled going out to California and watching Jerry load albums into his VW. Decades later, Jerry named a horse for my dad, "Cousin Marty." Many years later, I was fortunate to spend time with him during his trips to Louisville, and stand in the backside of Churchill Downs, watching Giacomo and then Zenyatta bask in the sunshine. He was a lovely man. May his memory be a blessing.

Mr. Moss believed in helping the less fortunate people get free dental, medical and vision care. He was a kind generous man who helped California CareForce provide this care to thousands of people.

I've always admired Jerry Moss and have thought of him as a magnificent human being. From the era of producing wonderful music, to his support of horse racing, particularly Zenyatta, he wowed me. But now that I know that he had works of Alexei von Jawlensky (my favorite painter) in his art collection, he just elevated himself to Sainthood status for me.

Gone But Never Never Never Forgotten. We All Will Miss Your Smile.

So sorry to hear of his passing. He really cared about his horses huge loss for racing may he RIP.

I was in awe of Jerry from the very beginning - well before his mind-blowing successes turned him into a lifelong legend. He was the son of my mom's Aunt Rose, and drove out to California to seek his fortune. Once in town, he came to stay at our place for a while. I awoke in the middle of the night to find a handsome young man sleeping in my brother's bed (definitely not my 9 year old brother). The next morning this handsome stranger was introduced to me as my 2nd cousin, Jerry. I was already intrigued but what really clenched the deal was that he let me watch him shave. Every stroke. I was about 3 years old - he, 20 years my senior. This will always be my favorite memory of him and it's the first thing I think of when I hear his name. From then on, I've always looked up to my Cousin Jerry, so intensely proud of his incredible succession of accomplishments, his wisdom and enthusiasm, his casual elegance and his boundless curiosity. So proud to say we're family. Oh, he will be so missed. Please accept my deepest condolences to dear Herbie, to Jerry's beautiful wife, Tina, to Ronnie and all of his beloved children and loving friends.

October 2, 2010 was a special night. Zenyatta had won her 19th consecutive race and my mom and I hung out with her, and Jerry & Ann Moss, for an hour. Jerry is laughing because my mom and Ann were talking all kinds of baby talk to Zenyatta. It was a sweet and special moment.

Blessings, healing, and love to his family and friends. Godspeed Mr. Moss.

SO VERY SADDEN TO HEAR OF JERRY'S PASSING I GOT TO MET HIM THROUGH THE YEARS.....MY HEART IS WITH HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

My heart is very saddened by hearing of Jerry Moss' demise. I have almost all of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass' CD's. I play them every week and feel so good in hearing them. This is feel good music!!! I also saw Herb Alpert in concert when I was in my early to mid 20's. Thanks to Jerry Moss and Herb Alpert for bringing music to my life that I truly cherish and will always love.

I went to see Herb Alpert in 2019 at the Smith Center, Las Vegas. I sat directly next to Jerry. He signed my Whipped Cream CD and posed for photos. He had a great time like everyone else. Wonderful memory for me, meeting a show biz legend. We thank him for all he did for music.

I worked at A&M in the 70's and Jerry was always a man with a smile. I was very impressed with his ownership of some great Horses. Sadden by his death but honored to have known him

Best of the best

Thank you Jerry for entrusting me with your personal and business as your financial consultant for many wonderful years before taking retirement. You were always kind and generous; caring; and it was not only rewarding in so many years, but a privilege that changed my life. You were a "Menche"; a true mentor; and your loyalty over the years was appreciated beyond. You treated me as extended family; always concerned about my welfare; and always included me in your special events, and annual holiday celebrations. Fond memories and stories forever. My you now bring joy and happiness to all those that awaited your arrival in heaven. Your an angel that will always look after those you loved and cared about; those that needed a helping hand; and those with talents that you show cased. You will forever be remembered my friend. May you RIP.

A truly philanthropic, generous and treasured man

My sad condolences to Jerry moss the greatest genius ! I wanted to meet Jerry but he was busy working with Herb. I also had my garage studio as guitarist and inventor of the wah wah guitar pedal. I share immense sadness losing Jerry- a true genius who left us too soon. Del Casher

Thank you for Zenyatta

A generous man. Very sad news, he will be greatly missed.

Jerry leaves behind a true legacy that will be remembered and enjoyed by generations of music lovers, future artists, writers and musicians to come. He will live through his philanthropic contributions, and his many gifts to society. Deepest sympathies, go to Mr. Moss´s family, friends, Herb Albert and my other colleagues at A&M records. Jerry´s memories will always live in our hearts and in our minds. Rest in peace Jerry Moss.

Really sorry to hear , may he RIP

I worked at A&M Records from 1970-1980. I started at 19 years old, music was my first love, one of my first albums was The Lonely Bull at 11 years old. Herb and Jerry created the most amazing environment for their artists and their staff. It was an honor to be in their presence. I didn´t know Jerry but it was obvious he was a very kind man. You could see it in his eyes. He will be missed by so many people that he touched in so many ways.

They don't make 'em like Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss anymore. They set the bar so high, no one tried to match it. Jerry's astute skills in founding and overseeing A&M Records and Almo/Irving/Rondor Music were unmatched. His generous philanthropic contributions to the arts and other charities are immeasurable. Jerry will be deeply missed by all of us whose lives he touched.

Thank you for always being a gentleman to me during the years we did business.

I worked for Jerry at A & M as his secretary in the late 60s - he was a truly wonderful man, caring, compassionate and the best boss I ever had. He bought his first racehorse while I was working for him and I remember how excited he was. We shared a love of horses and music.

There is no doubt that Jerry cared about the music made by artists and the distributed labels A&M represented. He was truly one of a kind.

Rest Peacefully Mr. Moss! Thank you for all of your contributions to the Horse Racing and Music industries. I spent many a day watching the incredible Zenyatta come from behind and snatch victory at the wire, as well as listening to the soundtrack of my life.
God Bless.

My deepest sympathies to his friends and family. He was a true renaissance man who was successful in everything he did.

My heart is saddened with this news. Such a creative force in the music industry and a generous person in so many ways. Such class and style will not be seen again. My prayers and condolences to the family and friends of Mr. M., to the A&M family, especially Mr. A., and to the countless musicians and fans whose memories will always hold the tunes Jerry and Herb produced. Rest in peace. May your memory be a blessing.

My Uncle, Dub Edwards, worked for Jerry & Herb from 1968-1990. I spent many hours on the A&M lot in the summers and Jerry was always kind to me. What a class act, he will be missed. See ya' on the other side Mr. Moss...I'll bring my flute, piccolo, and harp. Condolences and prayers to all of his family members.

He was my Grandpa Sam's brothers son. I never met him. Music is in the Moss genes. RIP.

May Jhermann rest in peace so loved working for him. Larry A. Green

So sorry to hear about Jerry's death today from a dedicated A&M fan. In fact my personal email has amrec in the title. You will be known to have headed one of the most successful independent record companies in the world.

Sending heartfelt hugs to Ronnie and all of you.

My late dad Steve Katz used to work for him from 1973 to 1983. And now they reunite in heaven, I am going to miss that gentleman. Rest easy Mr. Moss.

I never met Mr Moss but the music he produced are the avid memories of my teenage years and on! I am also a horse lover and Zenyatta is a fav of mine!
Rest in peace... you touched so many lives you never met but we all thank you

I am so sorry for Jerry's passing. He was so kind and friendly at the Zenyatta celebration in Kentucky with Ann who so loved Zenyatta

I spoke with Jerry many times during Zenyatta´s racing career and he was always so generous and kind. Thank you for sharing him with the world.

Thank you for all of the memories you´ve given us- the music and above all, Zenyatta the Queen of racing

Rest in peace . condolences to his wife and family

A Real Mensch

Jerry was my most dear and wonderful uncle. Not only was he extremely generous, making my life better in so many ways, but he was an inspiration throughout my life, showing me what one person could do to make this world a better place. I love my Uncle so much and will miss him terribly.

Mr Moss you and Herb Alpert made my childhood so much better with your label and I thank you so much.. RIP Sir

Forever grateful to Jerry and Herb for creating A&M Records....The best place I´ve ever worked at with the best people in the world.
Sending my warmest thoughts to Jerry´s family, friends and everyone who also had the privilege to work at A&M Records.
This is a great loss.

So sad to see this. Jerry Moss was a force and an important man in the music biz. He and Herb Alpert created a record label that was so unique that artists wanted to be a part of. My sympathies to the Moss family.

I was honored to work for A & M Canada, and while I never actually met Jerry, I will always treasure that period of my life. Thank you, Jerry! All love to your family.

In the 1960s my father was in Alaska as a sales rep for Lou Lavinthal's company. A&M sent a case of Smucker's Jelly. That meant so much to him. Thank you Mr. Moss.

Always a complete gentleman , humble, kind and generous. Set a real example for others to aspire to.

Moss was the very best of us.

Legendary Music Man and the class of the field in everything he endeavored. RIP,

I almost met Jerry quite a few years ago at the old A&M lot and studio right before it became Henson Studios. He was somewhere on the lot but never has the meeting. One truly amazing music man that changed me through the roster of A&M Records!

I'm so sorry he has passed. A&M gave the World so much excellent Music, with classy Artists. Truly, a giant force that made this World a better place!

Condolences to the family. Sorry for your loss. I have loved A&M records for all the beautiful music since my teens.

Jerry Moss - Truly a man for all seasons. Your leadership, generosity, wisdom, and compassions has blessed generations of humans. Your memory is a blessing.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Moss. Thank you for your wonderful contributions to this world. They shaped my life.

I am sadden by this news. Had some many nice conversations with Jerry during my 10 years at A&M. Such a wonderful person with a big heart

You were so instrumental in helping me shape my future by providing an atmosphere for me to grow my skills and talent..The world has lost a true hero today..
