***Goodbye Swingtime*** is the first studio album by [the Matthew Herbert Big Band](/source/The_Matthew_Herbert_Big_Band). It was released on Accidental Records in 2003.

## Critical reception

Mark Richardson of *[Pitchfork](/source/Pitchfork_(website))* gave the album a 7.6 out of 10, calling it "a highly original and engaging record that's also one of the last things one would expect for a producer who made his name with house music."[1] Marshall Bowden of *[PopMatters](/source/PopMatters)* said, "*Goodbye Swingtime* is both interesting and innovative, but somehow it just doesn't allow the listener to connect emotionally with either the big band side or the electronic side of the project."[2]

## Charts

Chart Peak position UK Independent Albums (OCC)[3] 26 UK Jazz & Blues Albums (OCC)[4] 6
