It was during this time in his life that Branford settled on the tenor saxophone as his primary instrument although he continues playing a variety of instruments to this day.

As a tribute to one of his favorite performers, Sonny Rollins, Branford produced another album, "Trio Jeepy" in June of 1989, with a vintage song of Rollins, "Doxy."
