 Absolutely Essential
Submitted on: 2009-05-29 |
|
| This is one of those truly special albums that you will revisit often over the years. It has aged extremely well. There's not a weak moment on the album but the classic title track and "Iniquity Road" are especially outstanding. Jazz fans and lovers of guitar music should check this out if they have no already. |

 Spectacular showcase

4 1/2
It was apparent right from the start of this glorious '75 debut that a new paradigm of technically emotional, jazz-guitar trio work had been breached. It may taper out in spots, but ultimately this a fascinating release anyway you slice it. |

Buy This Album!

| This is hands down Metheny's best (and most edgy) album. I would even rank in the top 5 albums I have ever heard. I have listened to the album at least 1000 times and it does not get old. Jaco's bass playing is also among his finest, especially the solo on the track "Bright Size Life." I would especially recommend this album to people who like rock or alternative music and want to get onto jazz. |

concentrate on Bob Moses

| I agree with all of the positive reviews for this music. As a drummer I am fascinated by the playing of Bob Moses. Bright Size Life was one of my first exposures to jazz music. It's 10 years later, all of the jazz genres have been taken into account, and this drumming still represents a peak of beauty to me. Missouri uncompromised and the concluding drum solo on the Ornette tune take the cake. Bob Moses!!! |

Perhaps Jaco's Best Work
Submitted on: 2008-02-05 |

| I'm not a big Pat Metheny fan. It's not that I don't appreciate his genius; I just never got around to listening to him very much (much to my dismay). In truth, I got this album because of Jaco. At first, I thought the whole work was a little too low-key and esoteric, but as I kept listening, I began thinking that this may be Jaco's finest. His fretless sound is indeed at its best, whether he's playing a slower melody line as in "Sirabhorn," or a funkier riff as on my favorite cut of the whole album, "Omaha Celebration." I think what surprises me most is how laid back Jaco is, and how much I like that he is laid back. Don't get me wrong -- I love the "in your face" Jaco. It's just that when it comes to all-around musicianship, this work is just so much more meaningful and moving than his self-titled solo album (which is perhaps one of the most important jazz albums ever made)or "Heavy Weather." Of course, this is all subjective. The only thing I can say for sure is that "Bright Size Life" is one more piece of evidence proving that 1976 was Jaco's finest year. MBK |
