Grammy Award Nomination, 2024 – Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album
Olympians
Vince Mendoza & Metropole Orkest
Modern Recordings releases Olympians, the new collaborative album by Multi Grammy Award-winning composer-conductor Vince Mendoza and the Metropole Orkest of the Netherlands! The powerhouse collaboration highlights 9 original compositions written by Mendoza over his 27 year association with the orchestra.
Olympians features an extra special guest appearance by Dianne Reeves, singing Mendoza’s buoyant and Brazilian-tinged song Esperanto with Lyrics by Kurt Elling, as well as House of Reflections, with lyrics by legendary British singer/songwriter Norma Winstone beautifully interpreted by Cécile McLorin Salvant. Tenor Saxophonist Chris Potter is featured on a turbo charged version of Barcelona. The recording also features a blistering solo by saxophonist David Binney and extra grooving moments from Weather Report alumnus Alex Acuña on percussion.
