The Brecker Bros. Collection,Vol 2 is a compilation album by the American jazz fusion group,the Brecker Brothers. It was released by Novus Records in 1991. This compilation followed the release of The Brecker Bros. Collection,Vol 1 ,in 1990.
AllMusic awarded the album with 4.5 out of 5 stars. [3] The Penguin Guide review says:"Aside from their individual exploits,the two Brecker Brothers made some commercially successful records as co-leaders in the mid-1970s,and these two best-ofs give a clear picture of what they did:jazz-funk rhythms streamlined with guitars and keyboards,sometimes as settings for grandstand solos by either of the two principles but equally often as grooving ensemble pieces".
