Vin Cardinal, His Vibes & Orchestra – ‘Once In A While’ / The Georges Trio – ‘Rocky’s New Year Song’ – Cook 5935 (TT)Exquisite version of one of the most beautiful songs ever written, Michael Edwards’ ‘Once In A While’, originally a huge hit for the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra back in 1937. This late fifties recording is by Vin Cardinal, a great vibes player and vocalist. After leaving Trinidad, Cardinal recorded for Motown and A&M, and became a much loved live performer in many corners of the world (lots of clips of the man to be found on Youtube). In any case, this is a great record, and insanely rare. Original T&T pressing from 1959 in absolutely gorgeous shape. Could go places with the right DJ behind it! Flip is a romantic seasonal outing by a vocal group accompanied by Vin’s band
