The Brothers is a studio compilation album by American saxophonists Stan Getz and Zoot Sims.[2] The four sides recorded on April 8, 1949, were released on the New Jazz and Prestige labels in 1949 and 1950 (New Jazz 802 and 818, and Prestige 724). The label listed the artist as the Stan Getz Tenor Sax Stars. Prestige compiled the songs into an album for the first time in 1956, at that time adding four additional songs by Zoot Sims and Al Cohn.[3] a record that was later re-released many times. In its first form as an album, the eight-song record was labeled as PRLP-7022. When Fantasy/Prestige released the album in the Compact Disc format (c. 1992), they added three previously-released alternate takes from the 1949 session that had been in the vaults.[4]
