I go to an arts school where I take jazz and we get to pick our pieces. So here's the criteria

Not too fast

All the things you are


Mac the Knife


Fly me to the moon.


There will never be another you


Autumn Leaves





Your potential list becomes a lot longer this way.|||The Look of Love by Diana Krall


Besame Mucho by Diana Krall


Dancing in the Dark by Diana Krall





or any son by her. She's a good bet because she's a jazz singer and she plays the piano.





You can also try songs by Stacey Kent or Madeleine Peyroux.





If you want some classics you can also try:


My Baby Just Cares for Me by Nina Simone


Just in Time by Nina Simone


Come Away With Me by Norah Jones|||There is a beautiful composition by antonio carlos jobim, the best performance by joan gilberto and stan getz, that's classic and also a good latin touch, you could be fast or slow as you want.|||Here's one by Jobim. Beautiful tune.





Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars)

In fact anything by Norah Jones.





I love Norah Jones.
