Jazz Bridge welcomes host Dave Posmontier and his son in this wonderful concert on two pianos along with Dave Brodie on bass and Doug Hirlinger on drums.

Dave Posmontier has been playing keyboard since the age of seven and has played professionally since the age of 12. He majored in mathematics at Temple University in the late 60's but played with the Temple Jazz Band and knew he would be a full-time musician after graduation.

In the 70's, Dave played in an organ trio with Mickey Roker and Bootsie Barnes and played extensively in the Philly area. He also joined a trio with Tony Williams and Al Jackson, also notable Philly musicians.

Currently, Dave is playing, composing, arranging, teaching, and participating in educational jazz concerts, workshops and clinics in schools throughout the area. Dave can be heard on several CD’s of Philadelphia area jazz artists and in 2010, released a CD, "Posterity" featuring his original compositions and arrangements. He has recently released a live acoustic trio CD, "Deep Pockets."

Alex Posmontier is a Philadelphia area-based pianist with international performance experience and a growing list of studio credits as a session player, arranger, producer and teacher.

Alex’s strong background in classical and jazz has provided him with opportunities such as performing at the Montreux and Istanbul Jazz Festivals, as well as playing alongside notable musicians like Duane Eubanks and Chris Brubeck, among many other Philadelphia greats.
With a heavy gig schedule in 2018-2020, Alex focused more on his recording chops; working on numerous compositions and studio projects. Besides session work for other musicians, Alex self-produced his first 2 EPs, Coast to Coast and Bridges, and recorded piano for the Netflix Movie “Candy Jar.”

His original composition “IDT,” off of Coast to Coast, was even selected for the Philadelphia Real Book II (a collection of Jazz works by Philadelphia’s best musicians).

Jazz Bridge, an award-winning nonprofit dedicated to assisting Greater Philadelphia Metro area jazz and blues musicians and vocalists in times of crisis, sponsors these neighborhood concerts throughout the region to keep the sound of Philadelphia alive.
