Franklin Dial "Bubba" Kolb (born September 13, 1940 in Durant, Oklahoma) is an American jazz pianist and trombonist who, from 1975 to 1981, led a jazz trio, "The Bubba Kolb Trio," in residence at the World Village Lounge at the Lake Buena Vista Village, Florida. The trio backed major jazz artists appearing nightly as guests, two-weeks each, year-round. The artists included Carl Fontana, Rich Matteson, Benny Carter, Zoot Sims, Clark Terry, Urbie Green, Hank Jones, Red Norvo, Charlie Byrd, Barbara Carroll, Clark Terry, Barney Kessell, Buddy Tate, Buddy DeFranco, Louis Bellson, Marian McPartland, Art Farmer, Kai Winding, Kenny Burrell, Flip Phillips, Al Grey, Bobby Hacket, Pee Wee Erwin, Vic Dickenson, Milt Jackson, James Moody, Ira Sullivan, Billy Taylor, Teddy Wilson, Laurindo Almeida, Art Pepper, Bucky Pizzarelli, and Jimmy Forrest. == The Bubba Kolb Trio at the World Village Lounge == The Bubba Kolb Trio initially consisted of Kolb on piano, Harvey M. Lang, Jr. (1929–1998) on drums, and Louise A. Davis ''(née'' Stuart; born 1929) on bass. The project, originally a market test, was adopted by Disney to promote jazz with the aim of developing a venue of major rank for big name jazz artists.〔Susan Barbosa (1947–2002), ''Village Lounge Has Talented Trio as Band, The Ledger, July 6, 1979, Section C, pg. 1〕 Kolb also led the Disney All-Stars — with David Allen Joy (born 1953) on trumpet, Keith C. Wilson (born 1959) on drums, and Donald S. Mikiten (born 1933) on sax, and Rondal Miller on bass – at the 1986 Montreux International Jazz Festival in Switzerland.〔Tom Duffy, ''Disney Will Be Heard From When Music Starts In Montreux'', Orlando Sentinel, July 6, 1986〕 They performed July 5 at the Montreux Casino. Bob Cross (William Martin Cross, Jr.; 1917–2003), an orchestra leader, who had moved to Orlando in 1971 to work as an entertainment booker at Walt Disney World, pioneered the World Village Lounge jazz concept that lasted two decades.〔(Dorimar Mercado, ''Orchestra Chief Bob Cross Shaped Music For Disney Venues, Nixon'', ) Orlando Sentinel, May 2, 2003〕 In the 1980s, Kolb was replaced by Donald E. Scaletta (born 1937), Davis was replaced by Clifford Brown's ex bassist, George Morrow (1925–1992). When Lang died, Barry V. Smith (born 1957), and sometimes Don Lamond (1920–2003), took over on drums. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bubba Kolb」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
