Trio Jeepy is a jazz album featuring saxophonist Branford Marsalis leading a trio that included notable bassist Milt Hinton. It was recorded January 3–4, 1988 at Astoria Studios in New York, New York.[3] It peaked at number 3 on the Top Jazz Albums chart.[4] It was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1989 for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Group.

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states, "Branford 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."[5]

Marsalis' cover of Makin' Whoopee would later be the first music video featured on VH1 Smooth upon its initial broadcast on August 1, 1998.[6]
