Two great Greek sides recorded 1940 in New York Traditional Greek Tune Clarinet Solo accordion drumsKósta GUS Gaidínis Bármpa Giánnis Kritikó SyrtóCosta GUS GaidinisUncle John famous piece by Kostas GiannidisCretan Syrtosee top of the page for condition Gus Gadinis was born in Siatista, Macedonia, Greece, ca 1885-1890. Around 1915 he emigrated to the USA. He started recording in New York in about 1925. Costas (Gus) Gadinis was one of the most respected and prolific clarinetists of Greek extraction in the United States during the golden age of ethnic recording. Yet today he is something of a mystery- very few contemporary reissues of his work, little biographical information and only one grainy photograph. To add to the confusion, legend has it that Benny Goodman, perhaps the most famous clarinet player of the 20th century, was sufficiently impressed to give Gus the backhanded compliment of the "Greek Benny Goodman." The story goes that Benny's endorsement got Gus his first studio date but this seems far-fetched. Gardinis first recorded at least as early as 1926, when Benny was only 17 and a long way from stardom. The obscurity surrounding Gardinis is caused in part by the fact that many of his sides, post-1920s, were recorded under anonymous names such as "Jewish Orchestra" and "Popular Turkish Orchestra", blurring regional markers. This reflected the melange of eastern Mediterranean culture, and perhaps moonlighting for different companies. These titles were recorded in the aftermath of the Great Depression when the major labels were down on their luck and ethnic markets looked less attractive, perhaps favoring generic offerings. The man went by Gus, Costas and Kostas as well. Gus is said to have been born c.1885, in Macedonia, and fled to the U.S. around 1915 amid the death throes of the Ottoman empire. He first recorded for Victor, all 12". The company's willingness to invest in longer-playing, higher-priced records emphasizes the prosperity of the 1920s before the Crash and the robustness of ethnic markets. In 1929, Gadinis switched to Columbia Records and then vanishes until 1932, when he made a few more sides. He does not resurface under his own name until 1940. No doubt he was a session musician on many other recordings from the 1920s onwards.
