Next month, a rare trumpet designed and played by Miles Davis will head to auction at Christie’s
“[A] trumpet like this — top quality in its field, beautifully made and, most important, with impeccable provenance — is definitely top in class,” Becky MacGuire of Christie’s tellsA video released in conjunction with the auction announcement shows contemporary jazz luminary Keyon Harrold — who recorded the trumpet passages heard in Don Cheadle’s— playing the horn.
“Miles being one of the coolest of the cool, his energy on the scene really, really inspired greatness,” Harrold says, accompanied by footage of him improvising on the “Moon and Stars” horn in an empty club. “This is a classic. This is a relic. As a trumpet player holding this horn, this is amazing,” Harrold says of the instrument, while the camera pans over its features. “Knowing the history of Miles as being very, very detail-oriented, I can imagine he designed this totally himself. He was a visual artist as well. The layout of this is so beautiful: the moon, the stars. Just looking at the design, it’s just flawless.
The Miles Davis “Moon and Stars” trumpet will feature in “The Exceptional Sale” at Christie’s in New York on October 29th.
