Far Away Lands is an album by jazz saxophonist
Hank Mobley recorded on May 26, 1967, but not released on the
Blue Note label until 1984. It features performances by Mobley with trumpeter
Donald Byrd, pianist
Cedar Walton, bassist
Ron Carter, and drummer
Billy Higgins.
Reception
The
Allmusic review by
Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "For this lesser-known outing, Mobley teams up with trumpeter Donald Byrd, pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Billy Higgins for four of his songs (given such colorful titles as 'A Dab of This and That,' 'No Argument,' 'The Hippity Hop,' and 'Bossa for Baby'), along with a song apiece from Byrd and Jimmy Heath. An excellent outing, fairly late in the productive career of Hank Mobley.[1]
