Mark "Doc" Shellhammer

I'm located in the Orlando area which is rich in entertainment opportunities. I'm the inventor of the RingMute dampening ring for Bb trumpet and the author of the S.P.I.T. Book (scales, patterns, inversions, triads) which is a new methodology for learning musical improvisation. I've been blessed to have played with many of the greats and still perform. I also teach trumpet and one of the hardest things is to get a student to understand that the trumpet does not have to be an instrument of acoustic destruction and there's more to trumpet than double high C. Learning to be lyrical, sensitive, and how to make the audience cry

Edward Lewis

Born: January 15, 1964

There are three relatively well known Ed Lewis trumpeters, but this Eddie Lewis is probably the least well known of them all. He never played with Count Basie. He isn't the Ed Lewis who performs with symphony orchestras. This Eddie Lewis is a humble son of a military family who grew up on army bases across the world. When his father retired from the army, his family settled in the city where he was born, El Paso, Texas. Even though his cultural roots are Pennsylvania Dutch, and he hasn't lived there since the 80's, he still refers to El Paso as his hometown. This is most true for his life as a jazz musician because that's where it all began for him
