Mazz is a Grammy Award–winning Tejano band originating from Brownsville, Texas. Formed in the early to mid-1970s by Joe Lopez and later collaborated with Jimmy Gonzalez, the group emerged as one of the most innovative Tejano crossover bands after adding synthesizer to combine traditional Tex-Mex, Mexican music, and popular Latin rhythms.

In 1978, Mazz released the self-titled album, Mazz, featuring the hit single, "Comprendo Mi Amor". During the following decades, Grupo Mazz became a successful band on the regional Mexican scene, climbing the charts with hits "Laura Ya No Vive Aqui" and "No Te Olvidaré," among other songs. The Legendary Lopez, with his suave voice, and Gonzalez, with his winning songwriting and producing talents, formed separate groups in 1998: Joe Lopez y La Nueva Imagen Mazz and Jimmy Gonzalez y Grupo Mazz. Lopez also teamed up with Selena's brother, on the 2004 album A.B. Quintanilla III Presents Joe Lopez.

Since the separation, both Joe Lopez and Jimmy Gonzalez y el Grupo Mazz have enjoyed plenty of success. The groups won Best Tejano Album four times at the Latin Grammy Awards from 2001-2004. The group also won Best Tejano Album at the American Grammy Awards in 2004. In 2006, the two planned a reunion tour and release of a new album, Joe Lopez, Jimmy Gonzalez y Grupo Mazz: The Last Dance Mazz Live Reunion.
