Branford Marsalis clearly had a lot of fun during this set. On seven of the ten numbers included on the double LP (the CD reissue actually has one less selection), Marsalis romps on tenor and soprano in a trio with veteran bassist Milt Hinton and drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts; the remaining three numbers have Delbert Felix in Hinton's place. 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. ~ Scott Yanow  http://www.allmusic.com/album/trio-jeepy-mw0000200678

Personnel: Branford Marsalis (soprano & tenor saxophones); Milt Hinton, Delbert Felix (acoustic bass); Jeff "Tain" Watts (drums).
