“Bright Size Life” 50th Anniversary

Bright Size Life by Pat Metheny was released 50 years ago.

Recorded in Ludwigsburg in December 1975, and produced by Manfred Eicher, the album featured Metheny’s regular touring band of the day, with Bob Moses on drums and the virtuosic but then largely unknown Jaco Pastorius on bass guitar.

Today the record is available as part of ECM’s audiophile Luminessence series, presented in a tip-on gatefold sleeve.
