Hank Roberts' Hat

Cellist Hank Roberts looks very handsome in his hat, part of my ongoing idiosyncratic quest to warm the heads of jazz musicians and others in the jazz world. HH dreams of a Hats for Cats photo shoot, a modern-day version of A Great Day in Harlem with hand-knit headgear. What a band that would be.

The Hats for Cats project began in October 2007 with a hat for Dave King. Here's the list of people with hats to date. Next up: JT Bates, Patrick Harison, and Ahmad Jamal.
