"....... Hallam in stunning form, equally impressive on tenor and baritone saxes and on clarinet. Influences can be detected (Hawk, Webster, Carney and Goodman among them), but from these he has developed an individual style characterised by an airy swing, a lyrical approach to improvising, an unflagging dynamism and prevailing good taste"
