We’ve been notified of the death of Kali Fasteau, a much recorded composer who appeared on more than 20 albums.
She played at least a dozen instruments and sang in a high soprano voice.
Cause of death has not been disclosed.
From Esp-Disk:
We are shocked and saddened by the sudden death of Kali Fasteau. She and then-husband Donald Rafael Garrett, as Sea Ensemble, released a profound album on ESP-Disk’ in 1974 and made two more great albums for Italian label Red Records in the same era. As a leader, she formed the label Flying Note to release her music, first on cassette tapes and then CDs, and was prolific. A superb saxophonist, pianist, and singer, she also played flutes, viola, cello, drums, and instruments from around the world.
