About this user

The Blue Dolls are a group (vocal trio) in the style of the Trio Lescano(and the Andrews Sisters), with a full repertoire of Italian songs from the swing era (1930-1940).

During that decade in Italy, there were several swing composers, arrangers and band leaders, among them, Alberto Rabagliati, Pippo Barzizza, Gorni Kramer, and Trio Lescano, etc., who filled the Italian top charts with many hits of Italian swing songs.
Pippo non lo sa, Maramao perchè sei morto, Baciami Piccina, Ciribiribin, and Non Dimenticar are among the songs contained in the Blue Dolls shows.

Many of these songs were adopted in the 50's (and often translated) by Italian-American performers, such as Louis Prima, Dean Martin, Tony Bennet, etc., but also by jazz icons such as Louis Armstrong and Count Basie (remember his famous rendition of Ciribiribin).

Now the Blue Dolls Trio offers you the music of this era in its original format.

The Blue Dolls, a vocal Soprano-Soprano-Alto trio, whose members, Erika Celesti, Federica Pallante and Viviana Dragani, in spite of their young age, have excellent backgrounds in musical and opera singing in starring roles. The completeness of the show is assured by the fact that the three are also very good professional dancers.

The trio is well sustained by the rhythm section composed of the following musicians: Marco Parodi, guitarist, arranger and director of the group, whose background covers 20 years as performer in the swing
and manouche styles, Paolo Volante, pianist and leader and promoter of the group, Riccardo Vigorè, one of the best double bass players in the Milan area and Luca Rigazio, excellent drummer, pupil of Bobby Durham.

The show includes the costumes in the style of the thirties and the choreographed movements conceived by Elena Delmastro, dancer,choreographer and dance teacher from La Scala.
