The Fantastics - Mighty Righteous (2009)

Hard grooving throwback funk, mod jazz, and 60s r&b flourishes from the mighty Fantastics -- a pretty deft mix of instrumental funk & soul with a mastery of classic styles! The core combo features organ & piano from Greg Boraman, who has roots in fellow UK funk combo the Soul Destroyers and has also sat in with compatriots Reverend Cleatus & The Soul Saviors -- so the pedigree is there -- plus Pete Collision on guitar, Raydn Hutner on bass and James Rule on the kit. Guests include Mark Norton on sax and flute, Matt Wilding on congas, and UK soul vocalists Noel McCoy on "Soul Child". Great stuff -- and another feather in the cap of modern funk & soul flag wavers at Freestyle Records!
