    Bright Size Life - A Classic in the Making

    By david_farris_2000  Aug 17, 2001

    This is one of those rare recordings which appeals to a part of us which we cannot fully articulate. The exquisite and exact medley of craftsmen, Metheny, Pastorius, and Moses, sweetly and confidently move through a cycle of songs which never grows ...tiresome. It is also one of the finest of the early ECM recordings, with sound quality admirable even today.I remember very clearly the first time I heard this. I was taking a walk in a quiet old neighborhood in Ann Arbor one late summer evening, and heard faintly the strains of the title track coming out of an open window on the first floor of a three-story restored Victorian house. The music was so enchanting, it seemed to come directly from the environment rather than from some electronic device. I gathered up my courage and approached the house to inquire about the source. I bought the recording the next day, and have played it hundreds of times since.It has become almost socially unacceptable to use the word "beautiful" to describe popular music. This is beautiful.

    Metheny Raw and Tasty

    By fishdad_1999  Feb 9, 2001

    If you want to check out Metheny while his creative juices were just starting to flourish...His playing: beautiful, raw, and "un-synthesized". Jaco, Metheny, and Bob Moses playing really easy on- the- ear (but super-cool) compositions. What more cou...ld you ask for? If you've only heard newer Metheny material, you owe it to yourself to check this one out. Read more Less

  • All Music Guide

    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debut studio album is a good one, a trio date that finds him already laying down the distinctively cottony, slightly withdrawn tone and asymmetrical phrasing that would serve him well through most of the swerves in direction ahead.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 CD 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. - Richard S. Ginell, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Pat Metheny

One of the most original guitarists from the '80s onward (he is instantly recognizable), Pat Metheny is a chance-taking player who has gained great popularity but also taken some wild left turns. His records with the Pat Metheny Group are difficult to describe (folk-jazz? mood music?) but managed to be both accessible and original, stretching the boundaries of jazz and ... Read more
