Umm, I heard more of a rock influence in Metheny's playing: early Larry
Coryell & Bill Connors (especially his acoustic album 'Theme to The
Guardian' which came out a few years before 'Bright Size Life'). Of
course, Larry was in Gary Burton's band and Bill was in Chick Corea's
band. But you can really hear the influence of Ornette Coleman in
Metehny's playing too.

I don't know exactly who influenced Metheny. His style was in place
when Bright Size Life came out. Who sounded remotely like that?
Maybe Gary Burton and associates? Does anyone know?
Yeah, I thought he sounded a lot like Goodrick and Diorio back then...
