Richard Egues and Jose 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
chachacha. Despite the commercial success of their recordings with
Orquesta Aragon 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 Egues-examines the early-twentieth-century decorative
style of flute playing in the Cuban danzon and its links with the
later soloistic style of the 1950s as exemplified by Fajardo and
Egues. 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 Egues, Joaquin Oliveros, Polo Tamayo, Eddy
Zervigon, 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.
