Goodbye Celeste by the Gavro Quartet is a heartfelt jazz piece with deep emotional roots. Spearheaded by jazz guitarist Tilen Gavranovič, the quartet also features Lenart Debock on tenor saxophone, Miloš Čolović on double bass, and Andreas Reisenhofer on drums. The track, part of their upcoming album Let’s Wait and See, also highlights the talents of European pianist Marko Churnchetz.
Based in Austria but drawing members from Slovenia and Serbia, the Gavro Quartet blends diverse backgrounds into a unified, soulful sound. Goodbye Celeste is a poignant tribute to a dear friend of Tilen’s who passed away in a car accident. Inspired by shared memories of music, cycling, and the celeste-colored Bianchi bikes they admired, the song’s title carries a subtle yet touching nod to their friendship.
With its reflective melodies and meaningful backstory, Goodbye Celeste captures both loss and celebration, embodying the power of music to honor those we’ve loved.
