Jazz Fest 2015 got off to a great start, despite the churning gray clouds that opened up into a downpour around 6 p.m., forcing an early end to the first day of the fest.

From Mia Borders to Mr. Okra, Kenny Neal, Shamarr Allen, and the Tedeschi Trucks Band, there was a little bit of something for everyone on the first day of Jazz Fest.
