54 is an album of Metropole Orkest conducted by Vince Mendoza featuring jazz guitarist John Scofield, and was released in May 2010.

[5] John Bungey of The Times wrote: "The Dutch Metropole Orchestra surround Scofield's bluesy riffs with strings and brass and some tracks will be too soft-edged for hardcore jazz types.

But Scofield is at his best, fluent, creative and funky, and an epic version of his old tune 'Twang' is a knock-out.

"[6] The Guardian's John Fordham commented: "The arrangements could have reflected [Scofield's] bite and pungency a little more, but there's plenty of punch to this set.

"[3] In a review for All About Jazz, John Kelman remarked: "Combining Mendoza's stunning arrangements and some of Scofield's best playing in years, 54 is a milestone in both artists' discographies... both artists transcend individual skill to create an hour-long whole that truly exceeds the sum of its many compelling parts.
