While Dreams did not achieve the commercial success of either Chicago or Blood Sweat & Tears, they served as a launchpad for eventually prominent jazz fusion artists Billy Cobham, Don Grolnick, and Randy & Michael Brecker (later known as the Brecker Brothers ).
Una vez deshecha la formación de Dreams, Randy y su hermano fundan una nueva banda, The Brecker Brothers (1975-1981), con la que, partiendo de su anterior base jazz-rock, se consolidan como uno de los grupos punteros del funk y el disco instrumental. Entre estas bandas, Randy colabora con Horace Silver, Janis Joplin, Stevie Wonder y Art Blakey.
