From 1988-1989 he attended the second year of double-bass and took the diploma of theory and solfeggio at the Vivaldi Conservatory in Alexandria (Italy). At the end of 1989 he deepened his studies of the electric bass and his playing of Jazz and Fusion music and so a large part of 1990 was spent in lecture rooms and laboratories at the prestigious BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC in Boston (USA).
There he studied the bass with Oscar STAGNARO (Dave Valentin, Alex Acuna, Paquito D'Rivera), Danny MORRIS (Robben Ford, James Cotton) and Ed LUCIE (Buddy Rich Big Band). He also studied and played with the famous drummer Bob MOSES (Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny). The main subjects were:

* history of jazz

* ear training

* arranging

* jazz harmony

* reading lab

* walking lab

* small big band ensemble.

Returning to Italy in 1991 he established a trio with the mythical drummer Giulio CAPIOZZO (Area) with whom he has long collaborated with.
In 1992 Aimetti participated with great success at the 'Happening dei Giovani' (A Tribute to Queen and Freddy Mercury) in Milan in front of an audience made up of thousands of enthusiastic young people. Aimetti played in the Cafè Express orchestra for the PEPSI Rock Cafè Live radio show broadcast by radio C.N.R. at the beginning of 1993. In September 1993 he played with the famous Italian singer Rita PAVONE in front of an audience of more than 15,000 people in a concert broadcast by Swiss national TV (TSI) for "Feedback 1993" review.

More recently, he has intensified his teaching activity. He currently teaches at the St. Agostino Academy in Casciago (Varese - Italy), the Vivi Music School of Cagno (Como, Italy) as well as the Civic School of Music Villaguardia, Como, Italy). He also performs concerts in various jazz clubs in Italy with 'M.A. Dangerous Quartet', the fusion quartet he formed in 1994. Moreover, he co-works with the group 'Unplugged' as well with the Funky/Rock'n'Roll band 'Memphis Hearts', a group he co-founded and which recently performed in the famous Milan clubs of 'Capolinea' and 'Scimmie'.
He is well-known by such musicians as SATURNINO, Angelo BRANDUARDI, Vittorio COSMA, Ellade BANDINI, Vince TEMPERA, Mauro PAGANI, Walter CALLONI, Lele MELOTTI Agostino MARANGOLO and Bernardo LANZETTI.

He just finished a Mini-Tour in Clubs and some Workshops together with the great Drummer STEVE WASHINGTON (Whitney Houston, Nik Kershaw, Texas, Lisa Stansfield...)

STEVE WASHINGTON said : "…Mauro is a very talented bass player, not only does he listen to what I am playing, but he has a great feel, and his Fretless bass playing is outstanding. It was an honour to work with such an excellent musician, and it was very easy to lock into a good groove with him because we are both on the same wavelength with music, he's great".

Dominic MILLER (STING Guitarist) :

Hi Mauro.

Thanks for the email. I did listen to your cd and can hear you are a serious bass player. Your resume is very impressive too. I would like to see you here in London and if there is any work going I will bear you in mind. The session scene is very competitive here in London so it might take some time to get things going. I am very busy now working with Sting for the next tour so time is thight. Maybe we can get together in December.

Best wishes,
Dominic
