When someone starts an email with the words ‘unreleased Stanton Davis‘ we tend to sit up and notice, so for mixtape #92 may we present to you DJ Deano Sounds, label boss of Cultures of Soul Records and a serious collector of vinyl. Here he supplies us with just over an hour’s worth of deep and spiritual jazz, dipping into his record box to pull out some of the rarer bits in his collection while sandwiching the session with two previously unheard tracks from the Massachusetts flugelhorn player, who released the seminal jazz funk masterpiece ‘Brighter Days’ (comped by Soul Jazz, reissued by Cultures of Soul) back in 1977. There’s plenty of music to peak your interest here whether it’s the somewhat scarce Doug Hammond outing away from Tribe, or the Charles Tyner selection which hasn’t been seen properly on vinyl since the 1990s. There’s also the soul jazz heavyweight that is ‘Leaving The Planet’ from Charles Earland and a Jazz Meet favourite in the form of Melvyn Price’s ‘Behind KungsträdgÃ¥rden’ (albeit this is probably the original, not the Wax Poetics repress!). Give it a listen and see what you think, then check out the Cultures of Sound website at  for more vintage sounds. Oh… and the Stanton Davis… expect to see the new bits officially unleashed in the summer. Thanks for listening.
