Description
FREDDIE MITCHELL ORCHESTRA featuring Joe Black on piano - Doby's Boogie/Hog Head - Derby 713/red vinyl - vg++ He formed his band in 1949, which became the house band that year for the new Derby record label. They hit early with "Doby's Boogie," a record which was dedicated to Larry Doby of the Cleveland Indians, the first black athlete in the American League (the National League's Jackie Robinson was one year earlier). Besides his role as director of the recording sessions for Derby, Mitchell was also their A&R man, and part of his job for them was to recruit talent.
