This is a suggestive love song, where each partner asks for the "other" to Bossa Nova them over Nova and Nova!

YOU BOSSA NOVA ME

This is one of the masterpieces that Carlos Antonio Jobim wrote in the late 1950's!  The melody is sublime.  I have recorded it!  I am not a great guitarist but I hope you will enjoy my rendition!

DESAFINADO - CARLOS ANTONIO JOBIM (played by David Austin)

A track I wrote for the birth of my nephew's daughter.

A BABY IS BORN

This is a 'LATIN' remix of my song "CRAZY WHEN SHE'S NOT CALLING" sung by Emily Bindiger (therefore the song title is called "CRAZY WHEN HE'S NOT CALLING") arranged by Jason Miles in 2017

CRAZY WHEN HE'S NOT CALLING - EMILY BINDIGER - LATIN Remix

This is probably a James Taylor type of song if he was in to acid JAZZ!

DO YOU STILL NEED ME

CRAZY WHEN HE'S NOT CALLING (Jason Miles)

About a girl who is going out with a guy that is a player.

CRAZY WHEN HE'S NOT CALLING (EMILY BINDIGER - SINGING)

THIS SONG IS ABOUT SOME CHAP WHO'S LOST HIS GIRLFRIEND!

SEARCHING FOR MY BABY

I wrote this song for my parents; George John Austin and Betty Austin who were married for over 50 years.  My Father was a very good semi-pro Jazz guitarist who played with some outstanding musicians like Tubby Hayes (probably acknowledged as one of the best Tenor Sax players) the UK ever produced.  In addition, to recording on the eponymous Jazz 625 programme in 1963 with the brilliant 19 year old Dudley Moore.  I commissioned Jason Miles (again) to re-arrange and re-record this song, who used Emily Bindiger to sing.  I think her interpretation of this song is so sensitive and lovely, with Brazilian guitarist Romero Lubambo on guitar, Reggie Washington on bass, Philip Dizack on trumpet and Jason on keyboards and arranger.  The musicians performing on this song are world class and therefore the production on this particular track is absolutely top knotch

DO YOU REMEMBER - EMILY BINDIGER SINGING

This is a very chill out track that I wrote about Summer Lovers.  The studio line up is world class; Featuring James D Train Williams - vocals, Jay Gonzalez - Tenor Sax, Reggie Washington - bass, Brian Dunne (played drums for Hall & Oates for 20 years!), Christian Ver Halen - guitar, plus Jason Miles - keyboards.

SUMMER LOVERS -  (JAMES D TRAIN WILLIAMS - SINGING)

About a guy who met someone he loved, they fell out and he can't stop thinking about her!

CAUGHT IN YOUR WHEEL

He met her, she was lovely...... BUT, this was just the first stage of her plan!  She had an agenda and it was to destroy him!

LIFE IS WAY TOO LOOSE

This is a futuristic electronic pop song.  Sung by Steve Mahoney, with Victoria Adey on backing vocals.  Re-arranged by Mark Stonell + keyboards.  Written by David Austin

21st CENTURY GIRL

DAVID AUSTIN 
 - BIBLIOGRAPHY -


David Austin started his life in a tiny village called Waterlooville in Hampshire in 1949.  He comes from a very musical family.  His father George Austin, was a very good Jazz guitarist in the 1950’s – 1960’s, playing with Dudley Moore on the eponymous Jazz 625 programme which was shown in the early days of BBC2 around 1964.  George Austin’s playing career spanned 50 years.  David has 2 brothers who are both outstanding musicians, Robert (7 years David’s junior) is another guitarist and John the eldest by 1 year is a bass player who lives near Lymington.

David started playing the guitar in the early 1970’s, and slowly his playing started to evolve more as a songwriter.  In 2011 Polydor contacted him to confirm that they had sent Rocking & a Rolling (re-recorded by SCAMP STUDIO) to the management of Nicole Schurgziner at Interscope.  In 2014 he has had two different community radio states play his music.  WA12RADIO.CO.UK and BROOKLANDS RADIO.  

His song “Crazy when he’s Not Calling” reached the ‘Finals’ of the 2008 UK Songwriting Contest which his niece ‘Rachel Austin’ sang whilst just 16.  His writing style is made up of an eclectic mix of Jazzy / Latin, easy listening Country/Blues, folky type songs.  Cosmic Force has 18 easy listening Jazzy / Latin songs which could be used as musical ideas for either a film or TV.  The other CD ‘Gentle Blues’ is made up of 18 easy listening country / bluesy / folk type songs.  He is currently developing a third catalogue of laid back songs which hark back to the innocence of the 1960’s, yet with a modern feel.  He has written around 95 songs, 4 albums; 18 Jazzy/Latin songs on an album called “COSMIC FORCE”, 18 country/folky/blues rock songs on another album called “GENTLE BLUES”.  In addition to 10 satirical observational tracks called “DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH!”.  Finally, he has been building up a dance track CD full of songs that have been re-recorded & re-arranged in to dance tracks by SCAMP STUDIO.   He had an article printed in the Brighton Argos on the 12 June 2012 about an incident caused by a car driver whilst he was cycling.  The song link that the Brighton Argos printed in their paper was called “On the Mobile” The story to the background to the song, is that it is a lampoon against selfish drivers who think it is absolutely fine to hammer down the road with the mobile clamped to their ears yacking away, oblivious to the mangled mayhem they have caused behind them!  The humour of the song is quite perverse.  Being aware that is precisely what young people tend to like.  

In January 2017, he commissioned Jason Miles to re-arrange & re-record "CRAZY WHEN HE'S NOT CALLING".  Jason has worked with Quincy Jones, Miles Davis, Chaka Khan, Michael Jackson.  The song has been sent to PLAY MPE in Vancouver to be promoted in the USA, Canada and the BBC.  He is talking to music marketing companies in Japan to promote the song in Japan.  In addition, Jason has agreed to re-work this song in to a Brazilian re-mix by flipping the rhythm.  A video is going to be created with a young couple as well as animation.

David is also working on a book called “SUPER FISCAL” which is a geo-political legal forensic thriller, about money laundering and drugs.  He has finished the first draft in October 2013.  In December 2016 he has been working with a firm of literary consultants to analyse the plot, character and story line.    Once work on the dialogue has been completed by September 2017 he is looking to get signed to a Literary Agent sometime in 2018.
