He studied classical piano from a very early age, and at 13 years old he wrote his first jazz arrangement. In 1949 he recorded with the Swedish alto saxophonist Arne Domnerus. In the 1950s Hallberg played a.o.(?) with the trumpet player Clifford Brown. He also made a series of records with tenor saxophonist Stan Getz.
