Distinguished musician (7)

I believe the answer is:

maestro

'distinguished musician' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for maestro that I've seen before include "Top conductor" , "Master of an art, or a great conductor of music" , "Virtuoso" , "hotshot" , "An artist of consummate skill, master" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and the Evening Standard.
