According to MusicBrainz API / Search - MusicBrainz , “creditname” is
name credit on the recording , each artist added as a separate field
(emphasis mine). Bobby Martell is the artist credit on the track , but all the search fields are for artist names on the recording . That’s why you can’t find any recordings for Bobby Martell at all: https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/recording?query=creditname:“Bobby%20Martell”&fmt=json

thanks, for confirming its not possible and why. i wonder whether a feature request would carry any traction.

Being able to search Musicbrainz successfully from coverart in hand would be basic to a well functioning encyclopedia.
Filing this a a bug / feature request would be useful -though I suspect that there may already be a ticket.
