I recently got hold of a fine concert recording, sourced from an FM broadcast, by Jean-Luc Ponty.
(from the 101 Guitars website)
"Jean-Luc Ponty - 1976 11 21 Bottom Line, NYC, NY (FM)"
Promoting his "Imaginary Voyage" album, Jean-Luc's band featured Tom Fowler (bass), Alan Zavod (keyboard), Darryl Stuermer (guitar) - all three also present on the record -, and Steve Smith (drums).
Both J.-L. Ponty and Tom Fowler had played in Zappa's band prior to 1976, while Alan Zavod would eventually join Zappa's band in 1984. I guess having played with J.-L. Ponty contributed to convince FZ to hire him.
