Searching my music "Oscar Peterson" shows different albums with different leaders. You would like something similar?
The OP wanted two separate (but ideally complete) lists that represented:
  • The albums of Oscar Peterson (AlbumArtist='Oscar Peterson')
  • The tracks where Oscar Peterson is an accompanying artist (Artist='Oscar Peterson' and AlbumArtist not equals 'Oscar Peterson')

The problem is that we can't perform an exclude (AlbumArtist not equals 'Oscar Peterson') so the only way to view the tracks of the second list would be to view them one AlbumArtist at a time e.g.
Artist='Oscar Peterson' and AlbumArtist='Artist1'
Artist='Oscar Peterson' and AlbumArtist='Artist2'
Artist='Oscar Peterson' and AlbumArtist='Artist3'

that involves a lot of navigation steps (lets assume the tracks all belong to one album to simplify the navigation, otherwise they'd be more steps):
Artist > 'Oscar Peterson'
AlbumArtist > 'Artist1' > List of tracks <back>
'Artist2' > List of tracks <back>
'Artist3' > List of tracks <back>
...

I know the ability to have an exclude selection has been discussed before, but very infrequently, and I've never had a need for it.
