The '''Ertegun brothers''', Ahmet Ertegun (1923) and Nesuhi Ertegun (1917-1989) are co-founders of [[Atlantic Records]]. Born in [[Istanbul]], [[Turkey]], they moved to [[Washington]], D.C. with their fathers M. Munir Ertegun, who was then the Turkish Ambassador to the United States. Ahmet Ertegun, together with his brother Nesuhi, producer [[Tom Dowd]], [[Jerry Wexler]] and others created the Atlantic Records jazz and pop empire in the ‘50s. Although their primary musical interest was [[jazz]] (both brothers promoted [[jazz]] concerts, founded jazz record companies and organized jazz bands), they were also open to more modern styles and worked with such famous artists as [[Charles Mingus]], [[Ornette Coleman]], [[Hank Crawford]], [[Sonny]] and [[Cher]]. They were also co-founders and ex-directors of soccer team [[New York Cosmos]].
