Associated musical with nightclub (8)

I believe the answer is:

conjoint

'associated' is the definition.
(conjoint can mean associated or combined)

'musical with nightclub' is the wordplay.
'musical with' becomes 'con' (Italian word for 'with' used in musical direction).
'nightclub' becomes 'joint' (joint can mean a club or bar).
'con'+'joint'='CONJOINT'

(Another definition for conjoint that I've seen is " Combined".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
