Dedalus (band)

Dedalus was an Italian jazz-rock group formed in the early seventies by Fiorenzo Michele Bonansone (keyboards, cello, vocals), Marco Di Castri (guitar, sax), Furio Di Castri (bass) and Enrico Grosso (drums). Their eponymous first album Dedalus was released in 1973. A year after Furio left the group in 1974, a second, more experimental album, Materiale per tre esecutori e nastro magnetico was released. A third album was recorded but has never been released. By the end of the seventies Dedalus effectively ceased to exist until being revived in the early nineties by Bonansone, Di Castri and Grosso. The band renamed itself Dedalus Bonansone in 2002, and continues with Bonansone, Riccardo Chiriotto (trombone) and Anita Cravero (flute).
