Last Kiss Goodbye is the second studio solo album by guitarist Brian Tarquin, released in October 1997 with a new label Instinct records.

Instinct sent him to London to record with Ernie McKone, bass player from the UK Acid Jazz band Galliano.

This was the break through album for Tarquin, featuring the R&R/Gavin radio hit One Arabian Knight that charted #4 on the NAC/Smooth Jazz radio charts and the Jeff Beck remake Freeway Jam.

Last Kiss Goodbye received favorable reviews as JazzTimes wrote "Tarquin's delivery, though detailed, remains melodic and never ventures into the abstract.

Although his acid jazz is a gentler breed of fusion, Tarquin plays with a fleet-fingered, smooth style, which floats across freewheeling pieces…" and Jazziz magazine wrote "Cosmopolitan flair is reminiscent of guitarist Lee Ritenour, with a tincture of Steely Dan."
