Cuantas Veces

Amazon.com
For most of the '90s Mazz was the heaviest Tejano band in the market, with solid rhythmic cumbias and crunching polkas. Though not widely recognized, this CD ranks among their benchmark productions for several underappreciated tracks. First, the elegant and timeless bolero "Basura" is given new life as singer Joe Lopez conveys the indignity of being casually tossed aside in an intense relationship. For dance fans, blues-ranchera fire is brought to bear on the percussion-heavy polka "Esta Tristeza," on the price of lost love. Also unforgettable is the group's melancholy take on the old-time conjunto melodies of "Ojos Querendones." This was one of the early hits for the late accordionist Ruben Naranjo, who passed away early the same year that this CD was released, 1998. This is classy, passionate, and powerful stuff. --Ramiro Burr

Another great album from MAZZ.......1998-11-19

Once again MAZZ has released a bran new album CUANTAS VECES. Produced by the dynamic duo Joe Lopez and Jimmy Gonzalez. This album is one of my favorates next to MAZZ Romanticos Que Nunca. MAZZ has gone more with a stronger accordian sound in this album than they have in the past. (This is a Plus :) For example: Ojos Querendones, En mi Corazon Hey Tristeza, La Cama De Piedra, Esta Tristeza, my top 4 favorates off this album. And the rest, well its all got that classical MAZZ tempo, and I love it. I would definitely recommend this cd to any one who is a MAZZ fan or any one who enjoys tejano music. And in closing I hope that Joe and Jimmy will continue to make albums together and give us many more years of listening enjoyment.

Falls short of the standard set by the group........1998-09-29

The absence of Jimmy Gonzalez's producing is evedent in this the last release from Mazz with Joe Lopez. It does not come close to the standard that has been set by the group in recent years. Its a cd that should not have even been released. Although at times it shows a few glipses of greatness, it sounds dated and poorly thought out. I have been an avid fan of Mazz, and this is the first time that I feel that buying one of their cd's was a waste of money

Carreras' Finest Album.......2004-12-14

Now aged 58, and very much in the twilight of his career, Jose Carreras is often dismissed by arbiters of public taste as the least accomplished of The Three Tenors. Yet to many who heard him in his heyday during the 1970s, there was no greater contemporary tenor. Possessed of one of the most ravishing timbres on record, the young Carreras was also no shirker in the high-note department, as this 1977 album thrillingly demonstrates. But more than that, he was - and still is - a vocal poet whose musical credo, Singing from the Soul, has always set him apart from his more celebrated colleagues.

Jose Carreras: A Zarzuela Recital is a recent reissue of the tenor's finest album. Just 31 when he recorded this collection of Spanish arias, Carreras is in the best vocal and interpretive form of his life, imbuing each number with his sensuous legato and romantic phrasing. Straightforward and often Puccini-esque in their appeal, these melodic gems showcase a tenor who deserves to be remembered for the vocal giant that he was.
