Before Jazz Fest weekend two was unfortunately rained out and cancelled yesterday, the longstanding New Orleans festival welcomed a plethora of incredible musicians to the Fairgrounds for a day of nonstop music across a wide array of genres. My Morning Jacket, Paul Simon, Lauryn Hill, John Boutte, and The Revivalists were just a few of the many acts to take the stage on Friday. Check out some highlights from the fest, by Marc Millman.
