Exciting and fresh new music flavoured by jazz, blues and Latin, mixed in with beatbox, funk grooves and the Chinese GuZhen. Great if looking for new, accessible jazz. Dave launched his debut Jazz album “Walking Home” in 2001 before a packed crowd at Sydney's famous Soup Plus. His latest album “Burning Time” features an eclectic mix of original compositions by Dave. The title “Burning Time” captures the idea of timelessness - where the pressures of the world and limits of time become irrelevant whilst enjoying a great moment. It was through moments of “burning time” that Dave was inspired to write the music on this album. Reviews: "When I listened to this recording for the first time, the sounds captured me immediately, Dave Halls' original compositions and playing is beautiful and striking, each tune a composition of obvious devotion, love and sensitivity, giving away the demeanour of the composer Dave Halls, a wonderfully talented, loving, sensitive, unique and kind individual to his music, fellow colleagues and friends at all times. I ought to know, as Dave has been my protégé and good friend for some years now. Charlie 'Bird' Parker said, "It's either good music, or it's not". Well, this album is certainly I'm proud to say....much more than just good. Chet Baker and Joe Henderson would have approved and enjoyed the fine trumpet and tenor saxophone jazz strains complimented by loose and gentle time provided by the accomplished acoustic bass and drums throughout the album. The album was also complemented with an exotic and haunting infusion on a traditional Chinese string instrument called the GuZheng in one of the arrangements.” From Sydney Jazz Icon - Serge Ermoll Scott has reviewed the Burning Time album and thinks Dave's original music & his Burning Time album is excellent. He has recommended Dave and the Burning Time album launch to ABC TV programming to be filmed as one of the "Live at the Basement" episode for 2010 national TV broadcast.
