Paul Mazzolini's electronic group blended classical references with melodic pop through the 1980s.
For the hit, obviously 'I Like Chopin' tells the story. But 'Lunatic' or 'Dolce Vita' give you a better sense of their full sound, that electronic pop with a wistful edge.
Gazebo's 'I Like Chopin' became an international hit in 1983, sparking debate about its classical borrowing while establishing their signature sound. Songs like 'Lunatic' and 'Dolce Vita' continued that blend of electronic arrangements with nostalgic, melodic themes. The project remained Mazzolini's vehicle through lineup changes and albums like 'Telephone Mama' and 'Univision'.
Gazebo formed in 1982 with Mazzolini, keyboardist Giorgio Zuccheri, and drummer Walter Paoli. Their debut single 'Masterpiece' arrived in 1983, followed quickly by the breakthrough 'I Like Chopin'. They released several albums through the 1980s and 1990s, with Mazzolini as the constant member.
