Freddie Mitchell, That Boogie Beat (1955?)

 Friday's lunch record is featuring the Freddie Mitchell orchestra. This album is on the budget label Allegra Royale. These recordings were made in 1947-1950 most likely for the Derby label. The theme is boogie-woogie which helped develop the path to tock n' roll. Freddie's small band prominently featured the honkey-tonk stride piano driving these boogie tunes. Freddie adds his hot jiving sax solos to the boogie party. Titles include; Alamo Boogie, Two O'clock Boogie, Idaho Boogie, Fish Boogie and others. The YouTube sample song is "Auld Lang Syne Boogie" (1949)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HZesiformg . . bucko
