Goodbye is an album by jazz pianist Bobo Stenson recorded for ECM in April 2004 and released on September 12, 2005. Stenson's trio features rhythm section Anders Jormin and Paul Motian.
Reception
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." ==Track listing==
