"Combining Mendoza's stunning arrangements and some of Scofield's best playing in years, 54 is a milestone in both artists' discographies. Mendoza shows that any material –even the barest of sketches – is grist for his pen, while Scofield demonstrates that, no matter what the context, his voice remains assured and unmistakable. More importantly, both artists transcend individual skill to create an hour-long whole that truly exceeds the sum of its many compelling parts."
