The Whitman Review: Charanga del Norte at Wakefield Jazz Club on 20 October 2023
“The tight interaction of the rhythm instruments—always percussion-rich but not percussion-heavy—is what drives the music forward. Sue Miller’s stamina was as remarkable as the quality of her flute-playing, since she was responsible for sustaining a clear and arresting melodic line above the sheer breadth and force of the rest of the band. Improvisationally, too, her flute playing was a wonderful demonstration of the possibilities that a truly creative player can open up.”

Animation by Ged Haney of Charanga del Norte’s track ‘Los Problemas de Atilana’ based on research by Prof. Sue Miller, Dr Sarah Bowen and Cuban dancer Guillermo Davis on the televised version of ‘Los Problemas de Atilana’ by Orquesta Aragón in 1965. The flute solo by Sue Miller is a development of the solo by flute player Richard Egües which was danced by Rafael Bacallao. The animated Rafael here reflects the dance moves and musical gestures of Egües and Bacallao with a few new references and dance moves included for good measure!
