Reception[edit]
The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek states, "Goodbye is one of, if not the most expansive and diverse collections pianist Bobo Stenson has ever released ... Goodbye is more a recording of songs than jazz pieces—at least in a traditional sense. This trio doesn't swing, they play, they slowly dance through the lyric pieces found here."[3]
