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

I have lots of experience with this sort of thing. I'd suggest no vocals to compete with the conversations unless someone specifically asks.

Ry Cooder & Manuel Galbán-Mambo Sinuendo(I think 2 tracks have vocals).

John Fahey-America

Michael Hedges-Aerial Boundaries

Miles Davis-In A Silent Way

Japancakes-If I Could See Dallas

Global Communication-76:14

Soundtrack-The Straight Story

There are tons more but these are mostly non-intrusive but engaging if you want them to be.
