The Porch Trio Quintet is the latest project of The Porch Trio (Jorrit Dijkstra, Nate McBride, Eric Rosenthal): a guitar band that features the Trio plus Boston jazz veteran Eric Hofbauer, and young talent Gabe Boyarin on electric guitars. The band uses a microtonal tuning system between the instruments, which gives it a mesmerizing and dreamy sound, full of collective melodic and multi-rhythmic layerings.
The Porch Trio is an avant-garde jazz/improv group that started at the Quincy (MA) Porch Fest of 2016, and has since played many performances in the Boston area. The group draws from various traditions in free jazz and improvised music, and the use of analog electronics and a vintage electric bass gives the band a grungy, experimental rock and noise edge. The members are all veterans of the Boston avant-garde jazz community, combined with an extensive international performance experience rooted in the Boston, Chicago and Amsterdam improvisation scenes. In 2021 the trio started the project PorchBone, with trombonists Jeb Bishop, Michael Prentky, and Bill Lowe, with compositions by Jorrit Dijkstra. This project juxtaposes the abstract, improvised sounds of The Porch Trio against the velvety sound of a trombone section, inspired by the sound of the Duke Ellington and Sun Ra big bands. In 2024 the group released an album on Driff Records.
