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

Try This,

Koop (name of artists) "Koop Islands".

It's found in the electronica section of HMV etc, but it isn't dance or electronic music.

On the cover, it says (paraphrasing)... "music reminiscent of 1930's swing/big band era that can be heard in the dining hall of a liner while on a cruise in the Caribbean"... or something to that effect.

The first track: Koop Island Blues is awesome. Most of the tracks is sultry female vocals with rhythmic brush ride cymbals in the background.. and an airy summer Caribbean flavor.... upbeat and interesting.
