  The French Market Corporation has been putting on the Creole Tomato Festival for 23 years, but the Cajun Zydeco and Louisiana Seafood festivals are both relative newcomers, said Scott Aiges, spokesman for the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and Foundation, which sponsors the Cajun Zydeco Festival.
  
  "Two years ago, when we were looking to launch the Cajun Zydeco Festival, we had decided we wanted to launch several new festivals, dedicated to different musical genres -- one for blues, one for Latin music, one for African drumming and dance," he said. "When we found out the (Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board) folks were looking into building their own festival celebrating Louisiana seafood, we thought, 'Music, seafood, Cajun-zydeco -- sounds like a pretty good combination.'
  
  "We made plans to work together, and we did, not realizing that we were planning it for the same weekend as the French Market's tomato fest."
  
  The accident turned out to be serendipitous for all parties involved, Aiges said.

  One of Nagin's key hires -- Scott Aiges, director of music business development -- knows New Orleans' music business struggles well, as a former music writer for The Times-Picayune, manager of bands such as Astral Project and the Continental Drifters, and managing director of the failed LMNOP music business conference.Now one of Aiges' major initiatives is ready to take flight: the Mo' Fest, showcasing a number of local up-and-comers and headliners at Woldenberg Park between Jazz Fest weekends, on Monday, April 28, and Tuesday, April 29.
  
  "We're not just doing this for the sake of creating another festival or event, because Louisiana has plenty of festivals," says Aiges."The rationale for Mo' Fest is to create additional showcase opportunities for New Orleans' musical artists at a time when the global music community is focused on New Orleans."
  
  For the inaugural Mo' Fest, Aiges has assembled an impressive musical lineup.
  ...
  Besides that roster's unquestioned musical talent, Aiges used the artists' professionalism as a main factor in their bookings.
  ...
  Aiges says their inclusion is essential.
  
  "They were booked for the same reason Quint Davis books Sting or Dave Matthews at Jazz Fest: you need headliners who can draw people," says Aiges.
  ...
  "We're trying to send the message that New Orleans is open for business," says Aiges.

  "It'll be a mini-Jazzfest," he said."It will be a very family-friendly event, where people will be welcome to bring their blankets and lawn chairs, and we'll present some of the best, most authentic acts out there.
  
  "We'll have just a bit of classic New Orleans music from the likes of Kermit Ruffins, Bob French, the Hot 8 Brass Band," Aiges said.
