Correct me if I am wrong, but adding "&" to a command only means that the
shell does not wait for the command to finish before returning you to the
prompt.

If the command produces any output it will go to the standard output stream,
usually the screen.
Piping the output into an alternative output stream, using ">" is not a
solution?
