Having graduated from NOCCA and UNO with a degree in Jazz Studies, bandleader Cliff Hines has proven himself to be a master student of jazz guitar and a valued member of the surging presence of impressive young talent in local jazz circles. Other budding local prodigies round out the quintet, most of whom met each other in the prestigious music department of UNO. Their debut album Like Mystics of Old (2009) has generated a buzz among local and national music media alike. Their music video “What Chance Do I Have?” was a finalist in a national music video competition, and they recently recorded a video for “Pastels,” during which several kids covered the band in paint from head to toe while they performed in all white garb and different colored bandanas over their eyes.
