Chosen as an L.A. Times "Best Bet", David is makinga name for himself as one of the finest young jazz musicians inthe L.A area. "It was soon apparent that Sills, 26, is notyour usual young saxophonist. His airy well-pitched sound carrieshints of Stan Getz and Lester Young, and he plays with a patiencethat speaks of maturity. He goes straight to the heart of alyric, forgoing the flashy excess of youth, developing the storyline during his solos with touches of warm melodicism and theoccasional flurry of notes."- Bill Kolhase In the L.A. Times
David's commitment to the integrity of the music is shown in his Naxos Jazz Compact Disk, Journey Together, featuring jazz giants Alan Broadbent, Darek Oles, Joe LaBarbara and Larry Koonse. This thoughtful and swinging album shows David to be a talented arranger, expert bandleader and inspired soloist. David's first album,
"a meeting of Stan Getz and Joe Henderson, a style inwhich smooth reserve and technical ability combine in a singlecool-to-the bone sound."
