How about some good classical spanish guitar. John Williams for example. For Jazz, I would suggest Pat Methany and Charlie Hayden's Beyond the Missouri Ski. This is a cd that has excellent quality and can either make good background or focussed listening. For classical, Richard Goode's Mozart might do the trick, or perhaps some cello such as Yo-Yo Ma Plays Bach or Janos Starker's Bach Suites fo Solo Cello. When entertaining, I like to have music that is not overwhelming and which has one or two instrument(s) so it doesn't compete with with the conversation.
Might I also suggest that you put some of the suggestions on during dinner a few time this week and see which of this threads suggestions allows for good conversation and does not get in the way.
