Just on the off chance, I am looking for some help from the fediverse in re-obtaining the following music album:

Fast & Louche, Top Shelf Jazz, 2009. Originally discovered via @pluralistic from his post (boingboing.net/2009/07/15/top-…). At some point in time the iTunes monster ate my copy and by the time I realised it was gone, the album was no longer available.

Additionally, The band appears to have long since disbanded and I can't find a way to contact them to re-acquire a copy.

I loved this album, so any help finding it again or putting me in contact with someone who can help would be hugely appreciated.

April 15, 1968: On this date, the album Underground by Thelonius Monk was released. Album cover art depicted Monk as a member of the French Resistance in WW2. Won a Grammy for best album cover. Still best album cover ever.
