Album Notes & Community Reviews

A stunning debut album that announced the arrival of three of the most influential musicians of their generation. 'Bright Size Life' features the brilliant interplay of Pat Metheny's lyrical and fluid guitar, the revolutionary fretless bass of Jaco Pastorius, and the fluid, interactive drumming of Bob Moses. The music is open, melodic, and full of a youthful, Americana-infused optimism, establishing a new and highly influential sound for the jazz guitar trio.
