Matchbox is a Boston-based quartet with long and deep collaborative roots. McBride and Newton developed their synergy as a rhythm section with the Joe Morris Trio and Ken Vandermark’s Tripleplay. Later they joined Karayorgis on piano and Fender Rhodes to form mi3, a trio with releases on Clean Feed and Hat Art. After Nate McBride’s move back to Boston from Chicago in 2012 the Matchbox quartet formed and started developing a new, distinctive sound, featuring Dijkstra’s lyricon and analog electronics.
