Pat Metheny's debut studio album is a good one, a trio date that finds him already laying down the distinctively cottony, slightly withdrawn tone and asymmetrical phrasing that would serve him well through most of the swerves in direction ahead.

- Richard S. Ginell/AMG (4.5/5 Stars)

Bright Size Life is Pat Metheny's debut album, released in 1976, when Metheny was only 21. It is notable for the maturity of its compositions as well as the strength of Metheny's sidemen, as fellow fusion pioneer Jaco Pastorius was on bass along with drummer Bob Moses.

Review by Richard S. Ginell

Pat Metheny's debut studio album is a good one, a trio date that finds him already laying down the distinctively cottony, slightly withdrawn tone and asymmetrical phrasing that would serve him well through most of the swerves in direction ahead. His original material, all of it lovely, bears the bracing air of his Midwestern upbringing, with titles like "Missouri Uncompromised," "Midwestern Nights Dream," and "Omaha Celebration." There is also a sole harbinger of radical matters way down the road with the inclusion of a loose-jointed treatment of Ornette Coleman's "Round Trip/Broadway Blues," proving that Song X did not come from totally out of the blue. Besides the debut of Metheny, this LP also features one of the earliest recordings of Jaco Pastorius, a fully formed, well-matched contrapuntal force on electric bass, though content to leave the spotlight mostly to Metheny. Bob Moses, who like Metheny played in the Gary Burton Quintet at the time, is the drummer, and he can mix it up, too.

Hmmm, do I detect a run of ECM LPs? No matter, this one & "The Koln Concert" are already a heck of a run. Thanks to aksman & the owners for coordinating these great shares.

Downloaded this twice. No success in opening. Using UnRAR as my primary expansion software, I continually get an error message suggesting the password is incorrect, even after the password stated above is input. It proceeds to extract two to three tracks. Everything has been closed and re-opened. re-downloaded, rebooted, and updated. I cannot get past Unity Village! Other files from this user have worked fine, and other files from other users work fine. Utilized a second RAR expansion program and it hard-stopped right away informing me that the above stated password is incorrect. Grrrr.

No doubt, this IS a desert island disc, or I would have never gone through so much trouble to try to listen to this vinyl rip! So... Has anyone else had this trouble? I realize it is five months later than the last post here, so perhaps the RAR files are somehow corrupted? If anyone has run into this hard-stop and managed to find a solution, please share it, I am out of ideas, and I'd love to here this beautiful album on sweet vinyl!
