Hank Roberts (born March 24, 1954, Terre Haute, Indiana) is an American jazz cellist and vocalist. He plays the electric cello, and his style is a mixture of rock, jazz, avant-garde, folk, and classical influences.

Green (Hank Roberts Album)
''Green'' is an album led by cellist Hank Roberts which was recorded in late 2007 and released on the Winter & Winter label. Reception In his review for Allmusic, Alex Henderson said "This isn't angry, dense, harsh, abrasive, or claustrophobic music; Roberts values space, and the listener is given a lot of breathing room. When Roberts provides the occasional vocal and goes into "singing instrumentalist" mode, his appreciation of blues and folk becomes especially apparent. But even at his most rootsy, Roberts maintains his eccentricity and his left-of-center perspective, which is a perspective that yields generally noteworthy results on ''Green''". In JazzTimes, Brent Burton observed "the musicianship sometimes outshines the songs themselves".Burton, B.JazzTimes Review August 2008 On AllAboutJazz Mark F. Turner stated "''Green'' is uniquely captivating, haunting yet warmly assuasive and, true to Roberts' form, not easily categorized. A wondrous journey for those who appreciate mus ...
