Born in Middletown, Ohio, Dave grew a fondness for jazz after meeting Herb Jeffries at a young age.[1] Dave studied music until 1960 at the University of Hawaii before transferring to Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts in 1961. He first worked around Boston and then settled in on the Lower East Side in New York City in 1965 after graduating with a degree in musical composition. During his years there, he started a band called the Untraditional Jazz Improvisational Team with saxophonist Byard Lancaster, bassist Sirone, and drummer Bobby Kapp. In 1965 he joined the groups of saxophonists Pharoah Sanders, 'Tauhid', Marion Brown 'Juba-Lee', 'Three for Shepp' and Archie Shepp, resulting in numerous recordings, among them For Losers, Kwanza, Live at the Pan-African Festival, Yasmina, Blase, Black Gypsy, Things Have Got to Change, Attica Blues, The Cry of My People, There Is a Trumpet in My Soul, Montreux One', and Montreux Two.

They eventually released From Ragtime to No Time, in 1975, and In: Sanity, in 1977.

In 1978 he composed a jazz opera, entitled Windward Passages in collaboration with Swedish-born poet/lyricist Monika Larsson. An album, Windward Passages (hatHut Records, Switzerland) based on the opera was released in 1979. In 1988 Burrell joined tenor saxophonist David Murray. Their extensive touring and recodong collaborations resulted in duo recordings, Burrell's Daybreak (1989), Brother to Brother (1992), Gazell Records, In Concert (Victo, 1992), snd Windward Passages (Black Saint, 1993).
