Dedalus is an Italian jazz-rock group formed in the early 1970s 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.
