Recorded in December 1975
A defining record for Metheny and ECM.
Even people who don't particularly groove to Pat Metheny's aesthetic seem to like this one.
And, of course, Jaco.

Ah yes, the days when Pat Metheny was a breath of fresh air!! I have room for only 5 Metheny albums in my collection, three from the 1970s plus "As Falls Wichita" and "80/81" from 1980. "Bright Size Life" and "Watercolors" are both good history lessons for folks who have only consumed the last 30 years of Pat's recordings. You'll find his approach simpler and his solos more spontaneous. Fresh indeed!
