Jazz Fest: Saturday's Schedule and Picks

Our downloadable, up-to-date schedule and highlights for Saturday at the Fair Grounds.

Friday was a slightly soft start to Jazz Fest. There was never enough of a crowd to create lines for anything, and only in the last hour did the schedule force any hard choices. Fortunately, the day ended with a Steely Dan set that was as musical as you'd expect, a Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings set that was a lesson in old school R&B and showmanship, and Janelle Monae's emotional tribute to Prince. It was particularly affecting to see someone as self-possessed as Monae in tears onstage as she played "Take Me with U" and "Let's Go Crazy."

It won't be a surprise if Anders Osborne continues the outpouring of affection for Prince. Thursday night, he played a mandolin and acoustic guitar version of "Purple Rain" at Tipitina's. Others tributes could come from any number of artists. Pearl Jam? Maxwell? Galactic? Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats?
