A quick visit with my favorite rhythm guitarist, Joey McKenzie of the Quebe Sisters Band. Full interview forthcoming in Just Jazz Guitar magazine. These gals are great! (And Joey's not too bad, either.)

They're the real deal. Some of the nicest folks around, too.

There's also a "Chet connection." One of Joey's favorite players is "Homer" Haynes of Homer and Jethro, who played rhythm on many of Chet's early sides, and was Chet's favorite rhythm man. (And of course, "Jethro" Burns was married to Leona's twin sister.)

I'll let you know when the interview in Just Jazz Guitar comes out. It's a full interview, plus a rundown on Joey's gear and a transcription of his playing.
