Yes indeed! Last Chance Disco is a great album.
Also recommend their 'sister band', Polar Bear. In fact, anything with Seb Rochford on drums is a good bet.

Andy in Sig said:I'd also recommend some of the Best of Blue Note compilations. Names to look out for would be Art Blakey (specifically the track Moanin'), Kenny Burrell, Lee Morgan, Lou Donaldson, Cannonball Adderley.
Fab Foodie said:...Herbie Hancock ( try, Watermelon Man)...

If, on the other hand you are not intelectually lazy and prepared to work at it over a period of time the reward is immense!!
A note of caution on listening to a lot of Radio jazz. The majority is not jazz, just something they can't catagorize. Jazz FM is a travesty of "let's not play anything hard-core we don't want to frighten the natives or the advertisers."
Don't wish to lecture, just warn of the traps! Enjoy the rest of your musical lives. NIIICE.
