Samuel (Shloyme) Beckerman wass a clarinet player and composer. Born in 1883 on the territory of the Russian Empire in the family of hereditary klezmer. His younger brother, Aryeh (Harry), became a professional trumpet player.
Even before the First World War, he emigrated to the United States.
With interruptions from the end of the 1910s to the early 1950s, he was a clarinetist in various compositions of the Aba (Abe) Schwartz orchestra. In the 1920s he played in the orchestra of Paul Whiteman.
Sam Beckerman died in 1974 in the United States. His son, Sydney, was also a professional clarinet player.

The article says Sheb recorded his last song just 4 days before he died, but does not tell us the name of it. I be curious what it was. Iโd like to hear it.

Thank you for this wonderful remembrance of Herman Zalis. My late father, Henry Wahrman, was one of his students. Note the correct spelling of his name for future reference. Thank you again for sharing this.
