15 Original Hits Vol.1

Nu slechts € 10,99 Fifteen of Lopez's 1954-1961 recordings for the Texan IDEAL label are assembled on this CD, on which Lopez plays alto sax and sings vocals, although some of the selections are instrumental. With the exception of the two 1954 sides, he's the bandleader as well. It's more interesting than much Texan Mexican-American music of a slightly earlier vintage, both because it draws from wider influences in its incorporation of some jazz and pop, and the sound quality is much better than even only slightly earlier recordings of Mexican-American music from the region. While the material is pretty ranchera-heavy, the size of the orchestra and the smoothness of the horn parts mark this off from performances of similar material by more traditional ensembles. Although he apparently considered himself a saxophonist first, Lopez was a good-natured, assured vocalist, as well, also capable of bringing more sentimental emotion to the waltzes. The sole bolero here, ''Y,'' might be the highlight, with its prominent electric jazz guitar; while ''Marcho Rock & Roll'' is identified as a rock & roll number, it sounds much more like swing jazz trying to masquerade as a rock dance instrumental. ~ Richie Unterberger
