Freddie Mitchell started out as a blues pianist in Tampa, Florida, but when he was 13, his family moved to NYC, where he took up sax and clarinet. By 1940 he was swinging the sax with the big bands of NYC, with Fletcher Henderson, Benny Carter, Louis Armstrong and Hot Lips Page. He formed his own 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).
Whiskey, Woman and... was a record label founded by swedish Rhythm & Blues collector and scholar Jonas Bernholm. Other labels founded by the enthusiatic "Mr R&B" includes Route 66, Mr R&B, Gospel Friend, Earth Angel, Jukebox Lil and Saxophonograph.
