Jazz(y) standards/compositions?

[drplayer]

Looking for recommendations for some slower tempo Jazz-styled compositions or standards to play. I've recently acquired an acoustic archtop, and I'm hoping to develop my chops to expand into the jazz arena a little. I guess as long as it isn't too complex, the tempo doesn't really have to be slow; but I am generally drawn more to ballads and such. If there is music (tablature) available to accompany the arrangements, that would even be better! Again, just looking for something to practice and play (other than scales) to help me grow in this area. Thanks in advance for your assistance...

I'd recommend getting a book on chord solo techniques with examples. I like this one.

Just got my first archtop, can't stop playing "All of Me" at a leisurely pace. Chords changes are pretty simple and it's such a sweet tune.
