* ControlFreak: Zawinul completely took over the band's composition in their later years; for an extreme example, on their second self-titled album, he would write out all of Jaco Pastorius' basslines and double them on his synthesizer. That's right, he was writing basslines for ''one of the greatest bassists of all time''. Unsurprisingly, Jaco quit the band after the album was recorded.

* RevolvingDoorBand: Everyone but Zawinul and Shorter rotated over the years, and those who did are some pretty respectable names in jazz: Jaco Pastorius, Miroslav Vitouš, Victor, Bailey, Alex Acuña, Omar Hakim, Mino Cinélu, Peter Erskine and Alphonso Johnson were all members at some point, with several other big names (like Steve Gadd and [[Music/EarthWindAndFire Maurice White]]) all contributing as session musicians in one-off apperances.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Joe Zawinul has gone on record saying that he was the once who introduced Jaco Pastorius to alcohol, which ended up aggravating his bipolar disorder and ruining his life. He's expressed a lot of regret, and realized his mistake after the first or second drink.

In the beginning, they played Music/MilesDavis - inspired free jazz (Shorter and Zawinul had both played on Davis' albums ''In a Silent Way'' and ''Music/BitchesBrew''), and gained attention for Zawinul's innovative use of synthesizers (he was one of the first to use the instrument in jazz) and influences from everything from bebop to world music. They soon moved into a sound more oriented around funk, and shifted away from improvisations into a more melodic and thought-out compositional style, mostly dominated by Zawinul.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Their final album, ''This Is This!'', was only made because the band had one more album left in their contract. Shorter was mostly not involved in it, preferring to focus on his solo project, and the album suffered for it.

Wayne Shorter died on March 2, 2023.
Their greatest success came with the arrival of Jaco Pastorius in 1976, and the album ''Heavy Weather'', which reached #1 on Billboard's jazz charts and provided their SignatureSong, "Birdland". This also signalled their shift into a more rock-oriented and commercial style, which made them one of the leading jazz bands in the world. Unfortunately, Zawinul was developing increasing ControlFreak tendencies, composing everything on his synthesizers and dictating their musical direction completely. Friction rose within the band, and Pastorius left in 1982. The band continued a while longer to diminishing returns, until the band members felt that they had more freedom in their own projects, and Shorter's increasing distance from the band led Zawinul to split them up in 1986. Pastorius died in 1987; Zawinul himself passed away in 2007. Another former bassist, Victor Bailey, died in 2016.
