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.
Reception AllMusic awarded the album with 4.5 out of 5 stars.[ Allmusic: The Brecker Bros. Collection, Vol 2] accessed 1 July 2015 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".
