Eminent performer, in teams or otherwise (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maestro

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'eminent performer' is the definition.
'maestro' can be an answer for 'performer' (I have seen 'Outstanding performer ' mean 'maestro' so perhaps 'performer' could also mean 'maestro'). I am not sure about the 'eminent' bit.

'teams or otherwise' is the wordplay.
'otherwise' indicates anagramming the letters.
'teams'+'or'='teamsor'
'teamsor' anagrammed gives 'MAESTRO'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for maestro that I've seen before include "special performer" , "Are most in favour of a foreign master?" , "musical genius" , "Distinguished artist" , "best in field" .)
