The Brecker Brothers was the musical duo of Michael (saxophone and EWI) and Randy Brecker (trumpet, flugelhorn), who recorded commercially successful jazz fusion albums together in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. They had a notable hit single with "East River" in 1979. In addition to recording their own compositions, the brothers frequently played together as session musicians on albums of other artists. The two also had prolific recording careers separately. Their collaborations came to an end, when Michael Brecker passed away from leukemia, 13th of January 2007.
