Are these Flac or Mp3 files?  If Flac (or APE or Ogg) you can create
more than one field with the same name, so no need to use separators.

For this particular example I wouldn't do anything other than just list
Charlie Haden and Pat Metheny as individual artists.

ARTIST=Charlie Haden
ARTIST=Pat Metheny

The album will then appear under each of the names.  The reason I say
"for this example" is that there are _so_ many jazz duo's like this
that labeling them as "Artist A and Artist B", as if that were a band
or combo name, will lead to far more individual artists than I care to
see.  And since the artist names are in the 'combo' name, there's not a
lot to gain.

On the other hand, if the combo has a name where you don't necessarily
recognize the artists, there may be something to gain in using the
ALBUMARTIST field for the combo/band name:

ALBUMARTIST=Sphere
ARTIST=Kenny Barron
ARTIST=Charlie Rouse
ARTIST=Ben Riley
ARTIST=Buster Williams

I don't tag too many albums like this, though, with a complete artist
lineup.  I'm more likely to just note the artist on this album as
"Sphere".  Doing the above gets the album listed under each of the
individual artists.
