Biography

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