We're half-way through Jazz Fest. The first weekend was tremendous with amazing live broadcasts from the Fest, huge crowds, beautiful weather, and WWOZ even sold out of brass passes. Check out the hightlights below from all the stages, the WWOZ Hospitality Tent and a little bit of Jazz Fest life from across the fairgrounds.
