These (IMHO) should be:

Evans Trio, Bill
Powell Trio, Bud
Brubeck Quartet, Dave
Connick, Jr., Harry

At least this is how I do it.

What makes it more interesting is bands named after people..
Seemingly simple tags like:

Lynryd Skynyrd
The Dave Mathews Band
George Thorogood & The Delware Destroyers
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
The Pat Metheny Group

What do they become?  I've started thinking I'm going to redo 
all my tags to just be regular format, rather than the system 
I've come up with for alphabetizing every song I have.  It 
makes sense to me, but everyone else that comes over to play 
something is used to looking for it under "George Thorogood" 
but I've conveniently placed it under "Thorogood, George" and 
that is confusing to them.
