The Blue Dolls Trio was formed in Turin, Italy, in 2005.
The Trio is currently composed of first soprano Viviana Dragani, second soprano
Angelica Dettori and alto singer Flavia Barbacetto.
The trio is accompanied by a rhythm section formed by piano, guitar, acoustic
bass and drums.
The repertoire of The Blue Dolls ranges from 30’s and 70’s Italian songs
interpreted in the Trio Lescano style.
Since their debut, the Blue Dolls have performed in major clubs, festivals
and theaters in Italy and in Europe. Included are performances in: the Blue
Note in Milan, Montreux Jazz Festival, The Brass Group in Palermo, The Cotton
Club in Rome, Luxembourg, The National Theater in Podgorica, Teatro
Accademia delle Arti in Tirana, Sheraton Hotel in Ankara and the Netherlands
Consulate in Milan.
The Blue Dolls have climbed the ladder of success thanks to several appearances on Italian nationwide TV programs, including
‘Markette’, hosted by Piero Chiambretti, the ‘Maurizio Costanzo Show’, ‘Stella’ hosted by Maurizio Costanzo, ‘Cominciamo bene
- prima’ hosted by Pino Strabioli (Rai3), ‘Cominciamo bene - Estate’, hosted by Michele Mirabella (Rai3), ‘L’Italia sul 2’ (Rai 2) and
‘Sanremoff’ (Rai 1).
The Blue Dolls were nominated as ‘Best Jazz Singers’ during the Italian Jazz Awards 2008. They have also played with Renzo
Arbore and his Orchestra Italiana during his 2010 tour.
The Blue Dolls were cast for the TV movie/musical ‘Le ragazze dello Swing’ (a biopic of Trio Lescano, produced by Rai1),
recreating the sound of the Trio by dubbing the songs included in the movie.
