Tweet Another Jazz Fest, come and gone, and we caught every act that we possibly could, across all seven days. Some of our highlights, along with extensive photographic coverage, below: Day # 1: Standout performance and our favorite act of the day was Gary Clark, Jr. We’ve seen him before (a lot, actually) and performing [...]
