Giombini composed the piano notes of the song, and in the 80s a urban legend spread the voice that they were composed by Chopin. Gazebo wrote himself the lyrics of “I Like Chopin”, on the music created by Pierluigi Giombini (or John Bini, as he sometimes chooses to transform his name, in order to look less Italian and more of a foreigner) it is the same winning duo that in 1983 created another hit that ended up for a long time in the top ten of many countries: “Dolce vita”, by Ryan Paris (real name Fabio Roscioli, another icon of ItaloDisco). The meeting with dj and producer Paolo Micioni (who during his career will lead among others the projects of Mike Francis, Amii Stewart, and many other italian artists), brings him straight to success and between 19 Gazebo releases an eponymous album and three singles that land directly in Italian and international charts: Masterpiece, Lunatic and, of course, I Like Chopin. This time a little exotic feeling is justified, because Gazebo is a sort of citizen of the world: his real name is Paul Mazzolini, but he was born in Beirut to an Italian diplomat and an American singer. Probably, the word gazebo today reminds of white wooden structures in healthy families’ gardens used for parties and weddings, but in the 80s, when we talked about Gazebo, the thought went only to a fantastic artist and his songs.
