The Watermelon Suite is an album performed by multi-instrumentalist Joe McPhee's Trio X recorded in 1998 and first released on the CIMP label.
[1] Allmusic reviewer Steve Loewy states "The mood is generally more pensive than to be expected, although fires are lit in a few of the pieces.
McPhee shows himself to be a thoughtful, sensitive player, where every note counts and space is just as important...
The results are somewhat mixed, though McPhee and Duval fans should find moments of inspiration".
[2] All compositions by Joe McPhee, Dominic Duval and Jay Rosen except as indicated
