Usher & The Roots, Alabama Shakes, Jon Batiste and Stay Human, Delfeayo Marsalis’ Uptown Jazz Orchestra, Jonny Lang, Jon Cleary, Stanton Moore, Cyril Neville, an all-star tribute to Pete Fountain and more shined on the first Saturday of Jazz Fest. Of course, the unique food offerings were a highlight as well. Maroon 5 was there too, but we didn’t get any pictures of them.
