Seems like every picture I've ever seen of him he was wearing a short brimmed fedora or bucket.
I don't think I've ever seen a pic of him hatless!
Very fine crafter of songs. He was pretty accomplished on the piano, too. So, were Diz & Miles.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
