She just made a demo CD of four jazz pieces with pianist Chris Reynolds. In honor of that, we met at the Southpoint mall restaurant where Chris was scheduled to play with a guitarist as a duo. Things were a little confused. Our friend Jane couldn&#8217;t make it at the last minute. Chris has split with the guitarist and so had also split the dates. This week turned out to be the guitarist&#8217;s week at Maggiano&#8217;s. We listened a while then walked out and heard some funky jazz down the street. Playing in the 100 degree heat were the Usual Suspects, a local to Durham band that featured <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/mao\/musicians\/beverly_botsford.html\">the wonderful Beverly Botsford<\/a> on percussion.
