Good Slow Piano Jazz pieces for Prom background?

So I was invited to play piano at my school's prom, and wanted to do a couple of slow jazz songs in the set. I already know songs like 'Round Midnight and Lullaby of Birdland and stuff like that, so I'm looking for some other (maybe not as well-known) pieces in that genre. I could possibly bring a saxophonist or a trumpeter with me too, but I'm mainly looking for pieces for piano, or piano that can stand alone or have an optional sax/trumpet part.

    Since I was little I have always wanted to play. I’m now 38 years old, have never played, and with this program I was able to go through the books and videos step by step and now I’m purchasing piano books to play songs to enjoy. Learn here https://tr.im/PianoLessons

    I have to say that my husband was very skeptical but now he is a true believer in this teaching program
