Help me pick out music for a party


I am hosting a party for my wife's 50th birthday party. Most of our guests are the same age and probably same musical tastes: rock from the late 60's 70 and 80's (u2, jackson browne, peter gabriel, etc), jazz (miles, carter, metheny).

It is not a dance party (buffet dinner and few people sitting down) and I would appreciate suggestins for the evening. No disco, no hiphop or rap.

Thanks

How about Blue Note plays Stevie Wonder? Not great jazz (nor even great Stevie Wonder) but it might be an appropriate compilation for the party you describe.

Good Luck,

Marty

your were gonna open up a big ass can of chocolate worms.
You did it!
Enjoy your wife's 50th bday bash, buddy.
Wow..I'm 56 and don't consider it a party without dancing (but then my wife has been teaching ballroom and Latin dance for 25 years).
The few 50 parties I've been to that had music playing, that wasn't obtrusive, yet not invisible;

Steely Dan - anything
Spyra Gyra - anything
