O-10:
*****Over the years, I have discovered there are great leaders, and great sidemen; when a great "sideman" makes a record makes a record without one of the great leaders he's recorded with over the years, it falls flat. *******
Truer words were never spoken!! It's amazing how often you mention stuff that I happened to be thinking of, along the same lines.
It's why some people that I declare noise makers, can be brilliant when playing as sideman to other artist. I can even think of quite a few Blue Note types. I won't call names.
As always, you have the insight of a true 'aficionado'.
Cheers
