The Brothers is a studio compilation album by American saxophonists Stan Getz and Zoot Sims released in 1956 via Prestige label. 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). 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
The music on this LP recalls the airy "Four Brothers" sound that tenor saxophonists Stan Getz, Zoot Sims and Herbie Steward, and baritone saxophonist Serge Charloff, plied in Woody Herman's band of 1947. For this outing, Steward and Charloff exit, and four become five with the addition of tenor luminaries Al Cohn, Brew Moore, and Allen Eager. The set appropriately kicks off with Gerry Mulligan's "Five Brothers," a tune reminiscent of Jimmy Giuffre's original "Four Brothers" in its fluid and bouncy arrangement
