A sparkling drummer and percussionist, Jerome Cooper has played with many fine groups, notably the superb Revolutionary Ensemble. An excellent accompanist, Cooper's solos are noted for their form and pace; he starts slowly, then steadily develops short phrases into powerful, intricate lines and explosive rhythms. He studied drumming with Oliver Coleman and Walter Dyett in the late '50s and early '60s. Cooper attended the American Conservatory and Loop College during the late '60s. He played with Oscar Brown, Jr. and Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre in 1968, then moved to Europe.
