The Brecker Bros. Collection, Vol 1 is a compilation album by the American jazz fusion group, the Brecker Brothers. It was released by Novus Records in 1990. A second compilation, The Brecker Bros. Collection, Vol 2, was released in 1991.

Reception

AllMusic awarded the album with 4 stars and its review by Scott Yanow states: "There are some strong moments on the best-of disc, particularly the ballad "Dream Theme". The die-hard Brecker Brothers fans will prefer to get the complete sessions on the original LPs, but this makes a nice sampler for casual fans".[1]
