In 2019 and 2021 he was the recipient of an ASCAP Herb Albert Composer Award. Originally from Arizona, Alex Weitz was a member of the award-winning Tucson Jazz Institute Ellington Band. Alex went on to complete both his undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Miami Frost School of Music, where he gained valuable mentorship and experience as a member of the Henry Mancini Institute Jazz Septet directed by Terence Blanchard.
In 2021 Alex won a "Pathways to Jazz" grant from Boulder County Arts which funded his third studio recording. The album features special guests Emmet Cohen, Ari Hoenig, Yotam Silberstein, and Marcus Printup.
