Principally recorded at Ocean Way Recording Studios, Hollywood, California from July 30-August 1, 1993. Includes liner notes by Charlie Haden and an excerpt from Raymond Chandler's "The Big Sleep."
"Alone Together" was nominated for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo, and ALWAYS SAY GOODBYE was nominated for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Individual Or Group in the 37th Annual Grammy Awards.
ALWAYS SAY GOODBYE intersperses classic movie soundtracks from "The Big Sleep" and "Anatomy Of A Murder," as well as legendary jazz performances by Coleman Hawkins & Tommy Flanagan, The Paul Weston Orchestra featuring Jo Stafford, Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli, Chet Baker, The Duke Ellington Orchestra and Ray Nance with original recordings by Charlie Haden's Qurtet West. The programmatic nature of Haden's approach gives ALWAYS SAY GOODBYE a moody film noir ambience that is both swinging and romantic.

Professional Reviews
Down Beat (4/94, p.38)
- 4 Stars - Very Good - "...Charlie Haden's cinematic ALWAYS SAY GOODBYE reconstructs the romantic atmosphere of post-WWII Los Angeles...Haden edits cameo appearances...into the project as flashbacks...Haden manages these transitions with a grace and respect absent from the necrophillic pop practice of recording duets with the departed...."

Option (8/94, p.102)
- "...This band deals in the imagery of the post-World War II Los Angeles that Haden grew up in...lush and bittersweet, conjuring up sound images straight out of some fatalistic '40s film noir..."

Musician (2/94, p.77)
- "...[Haden's] records with Quartet West suggest that in the rush to reclaim the past, modern jazz musicians (and their audiences)
have overlooked its heart....there's nothing overwrought or maudlin about ALWAYS SAY GOODBYE. Every note arrives complete, shaped by a guiding hand familiar with the tension of old-fashioned romantic ritual..."

Stereo Review (3/94, p.102)
- Performance: More Movies / Recording: Very Good - "...Yes, this is an odd, defiantly eclectic mix, but it works for me, mainly because I like the parts Haden has added, but also because he has concocted a blend that is as smooth and tasteful as his playing has always been...."
