"vibes player to watch in the 90’s!”

“Variously introspective, pretty and out-and-out rhythmically hot, [Victor] takes the instrument beyond Tjader, Puente, et. al., to, well, the 90’s of Mendoza.”

"Mendoza makes Latin jazz sizzle! He's explosive and lyrical...his many moods make him a force to be reckoned with on today's music scene. Indeed, Mendoza is one of today's brightest composers."

". . . genial, intelligent Latin jazz played with wit and finesse."

"Whether it be a steaming Latin jazz piece, or a quiet solo introspection, Victor brings intelligence and finesse to his music."

“. . . a style totally different from that of jazz legend Lionel Hampton, but just as breathtaking and impressive.”

". . . truly amazing!"

“Mendoza’s masterful musings, using four mallets, feature electrifying rhythms, seductive melodies and luscious love songs.”

"In the tradition of the great exponents and pioneers of Latin-jazz such as Cal Tjader and Tito Puente on the vibes, we have Victor Mendoza. While keeping alive our yesteryear, he carries us into the future with a unique sound, a personal sound, an intimate and refreshing sound. ¡Te lo digo yo! (I'm telling you so!)
