La Orquesta Salmerum
@ The Latin Grammys 11/3/2008
Eddie Lewis subbed for Roy Chapa in a performance by Houston's most
popular salsa band in the Latin Grammys. It's always a special treat
to play with this band because they are the most professional salsa
band Eddie has ever worked with. The charts are clearly written, the
band is punctual and the pay is reliable. This band is a cut above
the rest.
Mt. Olive Lutheran Church 11/3/2008
Eddie was a gust soloist for the 10:45 service at Mt. Olive this
Sunday. He teamed up with Carol Olborn (organ/piano) to perform

and organ concert schedule in the spring (more details to come).

Our second Living Rhythms performance in a week, this time the band

Glen Ackerman on Bass and Tim Solook on drums. The evening was
something of a celebration of Eddie Lewis' twentieth year as a
professional trumpet player in Houston, Texas. Mr. Lewis moved to
Houston in 1988 and has been active as a professional musician from
the very beginning. (The pictures here were taken with a cell phone.)

Congratulations... Genifer and Andrew Paulsen
10/13/2008
It was a beautiful wedding and our honor and
privilege to have contributed to your special day.
On Friday and Saturday night, Eddie Lewis
played a gig with yet another "new" band that he had never played
with before.
The Grooves is a party band based out of Austin. Their call
rescued Eddie's schedule from Ike.
The original plan was to keep this site
separate from Eddie's other sites, but now that it has been up for a
while, we realize it needs to be part of our public circle of web
resources. The update referred to above is that Eddie created a new
format for it. It is now what they call a "Standards-Based" website.
He made this switch out of necessity but that's a long story for
another time.

performance with the OJays at the Texas 2008 Music Festival. The
grounds were packed on Sunday night as you can see in the picture

canceled the next day. The excuse given was bad weather, but I don't
really buy that.

Fonts 8/18/2008
We're still working on the site. For some reason, the style sheet

problem but it may not be fixed until next week when we have more
time to devote towards this issue.
Website Maintenance 8/15/2008
We've been updating our software and moving to new laptops (so we
can be more mobile and still get our work done) so we haven't had
much time to post news lately. We are up and running again so the
time sensitive pages (such as lesson
availability) are now current and the news on this page will
begin flowing once again.
Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Dedi and Gary Wood

look.
Consort Immanuel Summer Jazz Camp
7/22/2008
Eddie Lewis and Consort Immanuel were busy last week
with one of their Summer Music Camps. The Jazz
Improvisation Camp was different from most jazz camps in
that the emphasis was on improvisation and not on jazz
ensemble playing.
Congratulations to
Wendy and Luke Patterson... 7/22/2008
...for a wonderful wedding ceremony. Mr. Lewis was their trumpeter
through Avalon Music.

well this year. Eddie Lewis has been performing with this band for
five years now and it's always one of the highlights of the year. If
you weren't able to make it, plan ahead for next year because this
is the best of the best that Houston has to offer.
Shout
6/9/2008
The dance floor was packed on Saturday night at a wedding - in a
tent - in the yard of one of the River Oaks mansions - as the
David Caceres band played Shout. This was one of the most
enthusiastic dancing crowds they've had in years. The picture above
was taken after the bride and groom had already left and the band
was heading into an hour of over time.
Recording Session: Austin Alvarez
5/27/2008
From the guys who brought you "Pop/Rock",
"My Purpose", and
"Beaumont Boy",
Eddie Lewis has teamed up once again with
Kelly Dean and Ed Lowe for another recording project. This time
they were the proverbial "Cherry On Top" for an up-and-coming
Houston musician named Austin Alvarez.
All-State Prep 5/27/2008
This workshop was a first of firsts. Attendance was not what we had
hoped for, but sometimes it takes a while for a new thing to get
going. But we did have enough students there to make it a success.
This first workshop focused on everything that should happen up
until your first note of the audition. Subsequent workshops will
focus more on the music and will have even more intense competitive
aspects.
Physical Trumpet Pyramid
3rd Edition 5/23/2008
We are so very pleased to announce the publication of the third
edition of Eddie Lewis' first book, The Physical Trumpet Pyramid.
There were originally no intentions to include this book in the

invest the effort into getting it up to the quality level of Mr.
Lewis' other books. That effort has paid off and we now have a
product we can be proud of.

We have updated the Listening Room to include some YouTube video
clips of famous trumpet players. This is meant for Mr. Lewis'

Mr. Lewis and his wife have a new bumper sticker, mug and coffee cup
for sale on their
CafePress
site. The image (as shown above) has a poem and graphic
representations of a nuclear explosion. Here is the text for the
poem:
The Trumpet One day while we were practicing
A note exploded beyond my bell
Tiny neutrons colliding here
And there a mushroom cloud did swell.
I did not mean to play so loud
And surely no harm did I intend
Towards those poor wooden instruments
Now scorched and charred beyond amend.
Frank Sinatra Jr. and Walt

Byram Ranch Gig
4/29/2008

architecture.
Contracting Bliss
The Temptations and
The Four Tops 4/29/2008
It's always a joy when a good plan comes together. Mr. Lewis was the
"horn contractor" for a recent performance of the Temptations and
the Four Tops. Everyone involved was happy with the performance and
this marks a new high in Mr. Lewis' music career.
Workshop Success! 4/21/2008
Consort Immanuel's first free workshop geared towards Christian
musicians was presented on the 18th with a successful response from
the workshop attendees. This workshop addressed stage fright and
performance anxiety issues from a Christian perspective. The
underlying message of the workshop was that God wants to be involved
in that part of your life. There's no need for Christians to turn to
new-age books for help in that area of their lives.

Santa Barbara, CA
Primo Gig - dude! 4/9/2008
Sometimes it's hard to be a trumpet player. :-) When the band can't
find anyplace better to stay than "The
Four Seasons - Biltmore", you have to wonder if it's worth it to
keep playing anymore.
He he he.... All kidding aside,
this was a very plush gig compared to most. Mr. Lewis and the rest
of the David Caceres band enjoyed their stay in Santa Barbara.
Newsletter Part II 3/30/2008
Part two of this month's newsletter gets everyone caught up with

also goes out to Brandon Haskins who was offered an Easter gig by
his pianist. Brandon performed "My Spirit Be Joyful" which comes
from Bach's Easter cantata.
Dean Vali
3/10/2008
Ed Lowe and Eddie Lewis were guest performers with this east coast
band. In many ways, the group and their repertoire were very much
similar to what's done here locally. The main difference was in the
overall feel of the music. Things felt a lot more "comfortable" and
"in the pocket" with Dean Vali than what Eddie has experienced in
Houston.

Ten years later, this reunion concert was something of a sweet
return for the members of the band.

the compositions.
New Artwork for Daily Routines
11/5/2007
Finally!!! The
Daily Routines book has always had highly professional content
and now that we are working with
CafePress.com, the binding and covers are always top notch. The

art. Dr. Pearl Lewis has done an excellent job at propelling this
already popular book into a completely new class of musical
products.
