Trio Jeepy is a jazz album featuring saxophonist Branford Marsalis leading a trio that included notable bassist Milt Hinton. Recorded January 3–4, 1988 at Astoria Studios in New York, New York and released in 1989,[3], Trio Jeepy was later nominated for a Grammy Award in the 1989 category for 'Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Group'.[4]
Marsalis' cover of Makin' Whoopee would later be the first music video featured on VH1 Smooth upon its initial broadcast on August 1, 1998.[5]
Reception
[edit]In an AllMusic review, Scott Yanow commented that Marsalis "clearly had a lot of fun during this set... The performances are quite spontaneous (the occasional mistakes were purposely left in) and Marsalis really romps on such tunes as "Three Little Words," "Makin' Whoopee," and "Doxy." On the joyful outing that is also one of Branford Marsalis' most accessible recordings, Milt Hinton often steals the show."[6] The importance of Hinton's performance was also highlighted in a contemporary review by the Jazz Journal, which described his contribution "as tasty as ever" and Marsalis to be "well served" by the octogenarian bass player.[1]
