Cliff Hines Quintet
Genre: Jazz / Electronic
Hailing from New Orleans, the Cliff Hines Quintet features Cliff Hines on guitar, Sasha Masakowski on vocals, Paul Thibodeaux on drums, Jasen Weaver on bass (replacing Martin Masakowski), and Andrew McGowan on keys (replacing Khris Royal on EWI). The band recently released their debut album “Like Mystics of Old” which features all original tunes by Hines and a tribute track to the late avant garde clarinetist Alvin Batiste (the titular “Like Mystics of Old”). Their unique brand of jazz fusion sounds less like the sounds of the 70′s and more like the art rock of the 00′s.
