What would be some good songs to add to our repitoire?

Hi, so my jazz band is playing a gig at a nursing home in about a month and I'm trying to find songs that they could get up and dance to (if physicaly possible) or easily recognize. We have a piano, trumpet, t. sax, drumset, bass and a female vocalist. Vocal songs I wanted to do include, Take the A train, Stella by Starlight, Ruby my dear, All the things you are, Four, Misty, and Summertime. And for band songs I have, Mr. P.C, Blue Monk, So What, Maiden Voyage, maybe a couple of my original songs and I'm gonna try to arrange or find a version of Tuxedo Junction that'll work for us. What would be some other significant songs that they might recognize?
