Consequently, the first trumpet that Wynton owned was one passed on to him from Al Hirt. Davis suggested that Marsalis start the 6-year-old on an easier instrument ignoring Davis’ sage advice, Marsalis persisted. When the discussion was held, it happened that another fair horn player by the name of Miles Davis was there. He approached his boss regarding what he had in mind. Marsalis was then the pianist in trumpet player Al Hirt’s band. In spite of Wynton’s apparent disinterest io playing an instrument, Marsalis decided on the trumpet for his son.
