The Yellow Waves

The Yellow Waves” was born in 2017 from the artistic meeting of Massimo Fedeli (piano, fender rhodes, hammond) and Eleonora Betti (lead and all back voices)  and relies on the collaboration of sophisticated musicians from the Roman area of jazz and pop: Stefano Micarelli on guitars, Nicolò Pagani on electric bass and double bass, Davide Sollazzi on drums, Fabrizio Aiello on percussions and: flute and Soprano Sax

Massimo talks about his work: I’ve always liked writing melodies and combining them with harmonies of a slightly more jazzy flavor, just as I’ve always liked to range between various musical genres. Painting My Time, is an album in which there is a clear prevalence of compositions born to be absolutely instrumental. This has certainly not made Eleonora an easy life but she has been very good at creating beautiful texts that go perfectly with my music.

Eleonora also gives us memories and how her lyrics are born:

I have known and respected Massimo for many years. Working with him on this album was a great pleasure. The music written by Massimo has inspired texts that talk about travel, positive evolutions, love. Sometimes small revolutions occur in our lives: changing cities, falling in love, challenging oneself and accepting one’s own falls are all things that renew the way we look at ourselves and the world.
