American jazz drummer (1936–1987)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank Severino (born Frank J. Severino June 2, 1936 – October 5, 1987) was an American jazz drummer.
He played with Warne Marsh during 1975.[1] In the 1970s he was also part of guitarist Joe Pass's trio.[2] He was based in Los Angeles at this time; critic Ted Panken described him and Donald Bailey as "first-call drummers" of the area.[3] Severino appeared on Clark Terry's Memories of Duke album.[4]
Taking after his father, Severino and Shelly Manne invented a drum with quick changeable batter heads.[5]
