http://variety.com/2013/film/news/don-cheadle-on-learning-to-play-the-trumpet-its-a-mean-instrument-1200810576/ From Variety: Don Cheadle says he began to play the trumpet three years ago as preparation for starring in and directing the Miles Davis biopic " Kill the Trumpet Player ." He found the trumpet to be unforgiving. "It's a mean instrument," he mused Thursday night at Harvelle's in Santa Monica. "It's a relief that my playing won't be used in the film."
