You are hiring a musician to perform on your session, in other words a session musician. Part of the agreement should be the musician receives money up front and in return signs away their rights to any audio they provide you.

One of the reasons people hire session musicians is to have access to their creativity. I've heard that most of the signature riffs you hear in popular music were created by session musicians "on demand". The producer says "we need something special" and they deliver time after time.
