Richard Eg???es and Jos??? Fajardo are universally regarded as the leading exponents of charanga flute playing, an improvisatory style that crystallized in 1950s Cuba with the rise of the mambo and the chachach???. Despite the commercial success of their recordings with Orquesta Arag???n and Fajardo y sus Estrellas and their influence not only on Cuban flute players but also on other Latin dance musicians, no in-depth analytical study of their flute solos exists. In Cuban Flute Style: Interpretation and Improvisation, Sue Miller-music historian, charanga flute player, and former student of Richard Eg???es-examines the early-twentieth-century decorative style of flute playing in the Cuban danz???n and its links with the later soloistic style of the 1950s as exemplified by Fajardo and Eg???es. Transcriptions and analyses of recorded performances demonstrate the characteristic elements of the style as well as the styles of individual players. A combination of musicological analysis and ethnomusicological fieldwork reveals the polyrhythmic and melodic aspects of the Cuban flute style, with commentary from flutists Richard Eg???es, Joaqu???n Oliveros, Polo Tamayo, Eddy Zervig???n, and other renowned players. Miller also covers techniques for flutists seeking to learn the style-including altissimo fingerings for the Boehm flute and fingerings for the five-key charanga flute-as well as guidance on articulation, phrasing, repertoire, practicing improvisation, and working with recordings. Cuban Flute Style will appeal to those working in the fields of Cuban music, improvisation, music analysis, ethnomusicology, performance and performance practice, popular music, and cultural theory.
