    About this album

    Barney Kessel’s Modern Jazz Performances From Bizet’s Opera Carmen turns Bizet’s opera into bright, hard-swinging West Coast jazz. Recorded in 1959, the album reimagines familiar themes with Kessel’s clean guitar tone, fluent improvisation and a relaxed but assured ensemble feel. Rather than treating Carmen as a novelty, Kessel uses the source material to build lively modern jazz pieces that balance sophistication with melody. The result is one of his most distinctive concept albums, showing how post-bop players could draw on classical repertoire without losing rhythmic drive or jazz identity.
