Thelonious Monk's Hatstand

Origin
Thelonious Monk was a jazz pianist whose unique improvisational style featured many unorthodox twists and silences. Monk is the second-most recorded jazz composer after Duke Ellington, which is particularly remarkable as Ellington composed more than 1,000 pieces, whereas Monk wrote about 70. He was renowned for his distinctive style in suits, hats, and sunglasses.

He was also noted for an idiosyncratic habit observed at times during performances: while the other musicians in the band continued playing, he would stop, stand up from the keyboard, and dance for a few moments before returning to the piano.

Effects
A small featureless bust meant for resting hats of all kinds, although putting one on it is a waste of time. Every day the bust will materialize a new hat in some 40s, 50s or 60s style, and each one causes new inspirations and sensations in the wearer. It could be said that each hat is a new personality, and this can lead to some interesting and varied work. The hat vanishes each night, but there's always a new one waiting.
