Dinner Music

[rhetski]

This didn't really fit into the music categories so I have put it here as its a fairly noobish question...

Dinner Music?

I have been asked to play a corporate dinner and need to play appropriate music for approx 90 mins. I have been looking at a bit of Jazzy / Blues kind of stuff but just thought I would throw it out to the experienced guys for some suggestions?

Thanks, dinner music not really my thing!

ok but in all seriousness yeh some slow low down jazz would be good, i dont think blues would be good though, lyrics about tragedy n pain, heavy sax's n shit

failing all that just go pub style and play your classics like most Pub based acoustic guitarists do

eg, shimmer, brown eye'd girl, jessie's girl etc etc just not to loud obviously

hey rhetski. any lounge type music will do (im pretty sure its somehow become its own genr even though a lot of genres can fit into lounge).

if you looking to buy check a group named kojak and their album crime in the city. also the latest frederik mooij release eternal refelct (or somethng or other) has at least a handful which will fit in.

Lounge and light jazz is idea. AnNything laid back with some piano or sax works well too.

I have a whole set of CDs I keep for this very thing.

Will pull them out tonight and list them for you.

Cafe Del Mar - Volume 2 through 11 are best for this sort of thing. You won't be 'mixing' as there are some pretty chilled out tracks here, but it really does set a nice mood.

Micheal Buble

David Campbell

Norah Jones

Rod Stewart - Greatest American Songbook 1 & 2

Human Nature - Motown

Sade

It may also depend on the age of the crowd. The older set love this stuff.

Slayer.

But really, I think Jazz is spot on.
