Yes, I have performed with individuals who had this issue.  Great  
players who get around their horn incredibly well, improvise well,  
etc. etc. but when it comes to ensemble intonation, they struggle.   
Actually I left out one possibility--many may have what we call  
"perfect pitch" and are playing in tune with themselves first and  
foremost--not the ensemble.
