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".
All compositions by Joe McPhee, Dominic Duval and Jay Rosen except as indicated
