Composer-arranger-conductor Vincent Mendoza has 35 Grammy Nominations across his storied career, including his sixth Grammy win from his last album, Freedom Over Everything. For his forthcoming offering, Olympians, Mendoza is joined by Metropole Orkest, which he has led as chief conductor for the past six years. It is a bright, zingy, and, as the title suggests, triumphant record to add to Mendoza's outstanding career.

Mendoza has written arrangements for a wide variety of pop and jazz artists, from Joni Mitchell, Sting, Melody Gardot, Elvis Costello, and Bjork to Joe Zawinul, John Scofield, and Randy Brecker.
