Turning our attention to piano-heavy trios, November has given rise to pop music news here and abroad. Anyone whose followed the path of local talents known as The Brothers Groove, knows all too well that Chris Codish, Mike Caskey and Jim Simonson have long promised to set their sound on CD once and for all. It seems they've been busy recording lately. "We have been doing a lot of stereo mic recording to Mini-disc (thanks to Mike Caskey) of our shows and rehearsals, said Codish in a recent e-mail. "We're thinking of releasing a live CD of our best stuff and some of the covers we do from various shows in about six months." As for the awaited Brothers Groove's debut release, Clamp It Down, well it could make a great holiday gift item. Still finishing up production, the band plans to release their album this December and will likely celebrate with a party at its musical home base, the Music Menu in Detroit. For those who can't wait to hear the tunes, some are available at the band's MP3 Web address, http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/125/the_brothers_groove.html. In the meantime check for the Brothers on television, the band will appear 11:30 p.m. Monday Nov. 20 on Channel 28, as guests on PBS's After Hours. - By Stephanie Angelyn Casola
