Quint Davis, president of Festival Productions Inc.-New Orleans, the production company behind Jazz Fest, said festivals helped create a more structured music industry in New Orleans. In 1996, in conjunction with Jazz Fest, pianist and composer Allen Toussaint founded NYNO Records, which has now produced more than 11 albums of New Orleans-related music. CD sales for me are driven by live music. From our standpoint the French Quarter Fest and Jazz Fest give us an opportunity to present almost all of our artists every year to an international crowd and that helps spread the word, said [Mark Samuels]. When the House of Blues arrived, it also had a lot to do with turning the music scene around. Now you can say you're a band from New Orleans and it means something.
