Pat Metheny had debuted at ECM as a member of Gary Burton's band on the
album Ring in 1974, but Bright Size Life, his frst studio recording as a leader, was
the album that decisively put him on the map as a bright new force, with
something fresh to say in the context of contemporary jazz . 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.
