The first two CDs I ever bought were by the Amsterdam Loeki Stardust Quartet. I didn’t even own a CD player. This was back in the days when CD players were expensive, and I was poor.
I went to see these guys in concert and was completely blown away. I bought the CDs, had my friend Ken tape them for me, then saved them for the day I could afford to play them.
To hear these guys, go to their website, and click on Clips. I recommend the recording session for Fugue Around the Clock. I’m always amazed at how organlike recorders sound, each voice its own multinoted pipe. To hear a more modern, playful piece and an example of the instrument’s range (as well as some fun visuals), check out “The Jogger.”

Just watching them on the video was amazing. And what a great name for their group.
Fascinating! I've heard anything quite like that. I didn't have luck opening the clips file, but I found this YouTube video. Must be The Jogger, yes?
Interesting (not in quotation marks). I liked The Jogger. I think it's one of those groups that I would have to see perform live.
