Frank Severino

Frank Severino (born Frank J. Severino June 2, 1936 – October 5, 1987) was an American jazz drummer who worked with Sarah Vaughan.

Early life

Severino was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His father wasa carpenter and inventor and his mother was a seamstress. The family moved to Los Angeles, and Severino attended Canoga High School in the San Fernando Valley. At the age of sixteen, his early professional career as a drummer took him on the road with Sarah Vaughn. He served in the United States Army Infantry from 1959 to 1965 and played drums in the 52nd Army Band in Texas.

Taking after his father, Severino and Shelly Manne invented a drum with quick changeable batter heads.[1]
