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.

Sue Miller is a flute player and musical director of the United Kingdom's only charanga orchestra, Charanga del Norte, which she founded in 1998. She holds a doctorate in flute improvisation in Cuban charanga performance from the University of Leeds and has studied charanga flute improvisation with Richard Egües. She has performed with veteran charanga musicians in Havana, such as Estrellas Cubanas, Charanga de Oro, Orquesta Sublime and Orquesta Barbarito Díez, and is a senior lecturer in music at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge (UK).
