Teasing the Korean Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Just found out that Jerry (Jerome) Slosberg entered the next realm in January 2010. He was 88. Jerry was a (terrific) drummer and percussionist based primarily out of Chicago. He played in a famous trio with Johnny Frigo and Dick Marx. He is on some of Ken Nordine's classic recordings on Dot also. Along the way, he appeared on many percussion albums by the likes of Dick Schory and David Carroll. He was Sammy Davis's first choice for a drummer when Sammy was in town. There were obits in the St. Pete Times and in the Las Vegas newspaper, but I've not been able to find them online.
