a little dinner music

Here are the ones, I usually have stacked next to the cd player, when friends come to visit us (more or less in alphabetical order)
- Ambersunshower: "Walter T. Smith"
- Jacques Brel: "J'arrive"
- Dave Brubeck Quartet: "Time Out"
- Ron Carter & Rosa Passos: "Entre Amigos"
- Paolo Conte: "Una Faccia in Prestito"
- DePhazz: "Death by Chocolate"
- Bill Evans Trio: "How my Heart Sings"
- Antonio Forcione & Sabina Sciubba: "Meet me in London"
- Norah Jones: "Come Away with Me"
- James Kline: "Music of J.S. Bach" (on classical guitar)
- Paul Kuhn Trio: "My World of Music"
- Daniel Lanois: "For the Beauty of Wynona"
- Wulfin Lieske: "What about this Mr. Tarrega?"
- Joni Mitchell: "Mingus"
- Modern Jazz Quartet: "Concorde" and "Django"
- Marc Moulin: "Top Secret"
- Joe Pass: "Virtuoso"
- Rosanna & Zelia: "Coisario"
- Sara K: "Hobo"
- St. Germain: "Tourist"
- David Sylvian: "Brilliant Trees" (OK, not very upbeat)
- Toots Thielemans: "The Brasil Project"
- Tuck & Patti: "Learning how to Fly"
To be sure, our dinner parties don't run long enough to play them all, we just let the evening inspire us what will eventually be chosen.
Oh, and if our best pal Luc comes to visit us and it needn't be soft - in any sense of that term - at all: The Clement Peerens Explosition: "Vindegij Mijn Gat" as I think one has a duty to cater for the guest who's bringing some of the rare and special wines and the culatello zibello, right.

Try some of the delightful Haydn Piano Trios, particularly those recorded in the complete set by the Beaux Arts Trio.

@opus88- I think after nearly 10 years his evening meal is over...unless it's some world record attempt...
