Dedalus is a jazz-rock ensemble from Italy that originated in the early 1970s, founded by Fiorenzo Michele Bonansone (keyboards, cello, vocals), Marco di Castri (guitar, saxophone), Furio di Castri (bass), and Enrico Grosso (drums). Their first album, titled Dedalus, came out in 1973. Following Furio di Castri's departure in 1974, the group produced a second album, Materiale per tre esecutori e nastro magnetico, which explored more experimental sounds. Although they recorded a third album, it has never been officially released.
The band disbanded by the late 1970s but was reformed in the early 1990s by Bonansone, di Castri, and Grosso. After Grosso left in 1997, the remaining members issued Pia Visione, an album recorded at Dedalus Studio located in Turin.
In 2017, a detailed four-CD collection accompanied by a 60-page booklet named Le Ricordanze was issued, compiling all Dedalus recordings from their inception in 1973 up to the present day.
