Describe the bug
This is version 9.0.4 of LMS (uncertain if this happens in other versions). I have one album that has the Album Artist of "Pat Metheny & Lyle Mays" which happens to be "As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls". Unfortunately, this causes all of the rest of the albums with an Album Artist by "Pat Metheny" to be grouped under "Pat Metheny & Lyle Mays". There has to be something related to the ampersand that I don't understand. This strange behavior happens with all Album Artists that have an ampersand ("&") and this error happens to those albums as well. I can provide additional examples. All files are tagged via MusicBrainz / picard provided metadata.
Expected behavior
Ampersands in the Album Artist field should not group/include the singular Album Artist named to the left of the ampersand "&" sign.
