The second weekend of Jazz Fest 2013 began just like the first ended… with rain — lots of rain. But the show was hardly a wash as Patti Smith, Dee-1, Kidd Jordan, Delfeayo Marsalis, Meschiya Lake, Aurora Nealand, Glen David Andrews, Geno Delafose, Rosie Ledet, Roy Ayers, Gerald French and more delivered memorable sets. Enjoy these photos from OffBeat photographers Kim Welsh and Earl Perry.
