I never got into the pre-Jaco days of WR. Alphonso Johnson just wasn't to my taste. While Chester Thompson was cool and a great fit, I much preferred his higher visibility playing with Zappa, and later on with Genesis (and yes, I'll admit, Phil Collins...).

I grew up hearing WR with Jaco right from the start. Maybe I should have picked up the earlier releases first, because (to me at least), hearing Jaco and them going back was kind of a let down to me. I'm not slamming their music at all. Regardless of who was in the group, Zawinul and Shorter were the centering hub of that band!

Still, I'm glad you enjoyed those albums!
