sideman
A sideman is a professional musician who is hired to perform or record with a group of which he is not a regular member. Sidemen are generally required to be adaptable to many different styles of music, and so able to fit smoothly into the group in which they are currently playing. Many sidemen are famous in their own right, however, and may be highly sought-after by bands. Often sidemen go on to form their own groups and/or solo careers; for instance, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Pete Best acted as sidemen to Tony Sheridan before becoming famous as The Beatles. Other musicians may take time from their own bands to tour or record as a sideman for another artist, such as Mike Watt with J Mascis and the Fog or Iggy and the Stooges.
Some notable sidemen include
 Eric Clapton, blues/rock guitarist, for Delaney & Bonnie and Friends
Rodney Crowell, guitarist
Sonny Clark, hard bop, pianist
Jesse Ed Davis, guitarist
Johnny Dodds, jazz clarinetist
