About this album

Makin' Whoopee! is a bright, good-humoured 1985 jazz album that brings Don Burrows’ quintet together with The Adelaide Connection for a program of well-loved standards and swing staples. The result is an easy, conversational session that draws on the charm of classic songbook material while keeping the playing relaxed and deeply musical. Burrows’ warm reed work anchors the album, while the vocal ensemble adds a fresh, collegiate energy to familiar tunes such as Georgia On My Mind, Route 66 and Basin Street Blues. It is a satisfying snapshot of Australian jazz musicianship with broad appeal beyond genre specialists.
