I need representation listings or some other form of contact
information for a number of professional musicians working in several
different genres of music. Is there a tool similar to IMDB-Pro for
music professionals.

Clarification of Question by pacifico-ga on 18 Jan 2005 12:42 PST

No...we are looking to contact the musicians themselves. We came
across this site before. It seems to have everything but contact info
for the musicians or direct representation. For example, if we were
trying to connect with McCoy Tyner (Jazz Pianist)...how would we do
it? NOTE: This is only an example...I'm looking for a resource that
has hundreds or even thousands of these types of musicians.

Thanks for the help.

You might want to subscribe to CELEBRITY SERVICE, which for decades
has been the go-to celebrity contact place for professionals, used by
newspapers, magazines, TV and Radio outlets, etc.  My company has had
a subscription for years and I can recommend them.

Celeb Service maintains current contact info for all kinds of
celebrities, including musicians.  They don't give out home numbers or
addresses (unless the celeb says it's OK), but they provide agent,
manager, publicist, lawyer, and/or celeb's office numbers.

It's very expensive....something like $2,500 a year to subscribe -- and you're
allowed to call for 5 numbers a day.   If you go over that, I believe you pay
something like $10 a call.  You can also buy contact numbers a la
carte at about $10 per.  However, because you say you need hundreds of
numbers of only musicians, maybe they'd give you a special project
rate.  Can't hurt to ask.

They also have website access, but only part of their database is on it,
so I've found it to be frustrating.  You think they don't have the
numbers, but then you call them on the phone and they do.  So the
phone service is the way to go for your purposes.
