I don't know who the people in the last two pics are, but those look more like LARP hats than spiritual hats.

I imagine a world where we all wear spiritual hats and tuomas never feels compelled to tell me that he doesn't know who those people are

That's not a hat.

Confusingly, a balaclava is listed as a type of hat (if you define it as "any type of headgear") here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat

Wouldn't that mean that wigs are hats too?

"thank you for coming up and good luck in your pyramid."

It's less than a week until Thanksgiving, which makes this spiritual hat season.

I saw a lot of spiritual hats last night at the ~world premiere~ of the Chicago Underground Duo with Pharaoh Sanders, but none of them were on PS's head. He wore no hat!

perhaps he wore a hat so spiritual it exists only on another plane!

There was also a very tall man who appeared on stage 3x to do some deep-voiced ululation (?) and provide inspirational words, but he was not introduced. He just walked out, said his stuff, disappeared, repeated at the middle and end of the set, and then disappeared back behind the curtains. He had to be at least 7 feet tall. Pretty much all I could see of PS was his glowing white hair and goatee.

and his saxophone obvs

Good luck in your pyramid

12 hours worth of spiritual jazz

unable to verify how many hats were worn over the duration

possibly the best compilation ever, posted in numerous threads

[Pharoah Sanders'] "Thembi" obstinately refuses to move us, a bland and strangely mechanical run-through of the familiar/ethnic/free cliches of the period, with an over-emphasis on small instruments and not enough on straight playing. [b]This was more about wearing funny hats than making music.[b] - The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings, Ninth Edition (Richard Cook & Brian Morton)
