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

Thanks for the valid point Riley. It will be fairly low as background music and shouldn't interfere with the conversations (party will be over 3 rooms with stereo in one room only).

Jaybo, She asked me to pick it out so I will include her favorites but just wanted some additional thoughts that I might overlook.

Thanks for all the responses. When I worked at a record store in the late 70's Rockadanny, I used to put on Ornette Coleman at closing time. Worked every time.

Thanks for all of you ideas. It was a terrific party and my wife had a great time until this morning.
