'Posh' music for a party?

Question

I'm holding an 'overdressed' party next week. Tiaras and top hats,slightly naff canapes,that sort of thing. Really stuck for music,anyone have any ideas?

Answer 1

I agree with the Jazz comment.

These rod stewart CD's are good background music too

Sinatra, Nora Jones are also good choices

Answer 2

Really Classical but dont go overbored because that can get so boring..

also try a song in Step Up (movie) called Time To Dance (bout it)

its kind of hip hop but the violins made it more classical

Answer 3

I'm picturing Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers dancing into the dining room. Go to a *GOOD* music store. Hastings, Virgin, Tower, etc depending on where you live... and tell them what you need. They should be able to help.

Have fun - sounds like a blast!

Answer 4

"Putting on the Ritz" should be the theme song:) ... How about Sinatra songs too?  Records from the heyday in Vegas when it was all glamour and glitz (the "rat pack" with Sinatra, Dean Martin & Sammy Davis Jr.).......

Answer 5

I've got the perfect answer for you. Playboy has a cd called jazz after dark. It would be perfect. Look it up and download some of the songs.  It is all jazz and 'classy music'.

Heres a link to the cd.

Answer 6

Cant beat James Morrison for background jazz music......or even older and more classic is Glenn Miller. Think Bing Crosby.
