Texas Music Festival
Jazz Project
Texas Music Festival Jazz Project

This was a great set of performances. The band is beginning to evolve after about a decade of performances. Just about everyone was featured as Houston's top jazz players showcased. The ensemble performs twice each year. If you missed this one, you can catch them again in the Spring.

Website Update 5.29.9

Play Along MP3s

We just added a a few play along mp3s for the jazz students to practice with. You can access these files on the "Practice Materials" page. We had intended to offer longer files with eleven total choruses each, but they were each about 15 MB. The shorter files are not as practical but we are limited to this file size for now. Future projects may allow for more space for these kinds of utilities.

David Caceres Band
David Caceres Band in San Antonio

We had a great time in San Antonio over the weekend. The gig was fun. David hired an extra percussionist - who Eddie had worked with before at a big Tejano concert a couple of years ago. Then after the gig was over, we decided to spend the holiday weekend there in San Antonio. We had a great time!

Mike Check

It was great to see so many people showing their support for a local guitar hero. Many of Houston's top musicians performed at this event and it seems to have drawn a pretty big crowd of fans. Mike Nase is a fantastic player and a great person. We wish him all of God's best and a speedy recovery.

Jack Melik

Eddie Lewis performed with this "regional" big band at the SPJST hall in Houston on Saturday night. The ballroom was packed with an encouraging number of ballroom dancers of all ages. Whether they were dancing to the tango or the foxtrot, the dance floor was blessed with the elegance and grace of an era that sometimes seems forgotten.

Website Updates 5.14.9

News Item Boxes

We are working to create a more sleek design for our news and updates. Unfortunately, the CSS isn't working correctly on IE7. It looks fine on IE8, which is the newest version of Internet Explorer. We are considering leaving it this way for now. Please let us know if you currently use IE7 with no intentions to upgrade. Thanks.

Favicon

We've added a favicon.ico to the site, finally, after almost fifteen years of webhosting.

The Happenings

This was an exciting gig for Eddie Lewis. They played some of the old songs his father used to listen to when Mr. Lewis was a kid. They even played a Beach Boys medley.

Website Update 4.28.9

Chord Chart

We just added a chord chart similar to the chart Eddie Lewis used when he was in high school. The chart spells out all of the basic chord types on each of the twelve chromatic notes. This is for the jazz students who don't know all of the chords yet but are required to play the arpeggios for their lessons.

The Blue Gnus traveled to Liberty High School this week to perform and educate the band students about the history of jazz. The Blue Gnus is a Young Audiences group that has been playing school concerts for over two decades.
OnOn the way home we saw this rare sight (rare for Houston)... a Swallow Tailed Kite. It was very exciting to see this bird glide from treetop to treetop hunting for food.
