I've never heard the original version, but isn't Unusual Way from "Nine" pretty jazzy? When Linda Eder sings it, it's really jazzy, and hauntingly beautiful.

I have the Laura Benanti version of "Unusual Way" and I don't think it's jazzy at all.

though dick tracy is a movie and not a stage show, you can be assured that sooner or later and what can you lose are great jazzy pieces by sondheim. also, anything by cy coleman will work beautifully

Yeah, Dick Tracy is a good one as well, all Songs by Stephen Sondheim. Especially "More" is a great parody song...

"Why Can't You Behave" from Kiss Me Kate.

Actually, most of the Cole Porter songs.
And Gershwin songs.

I don't know if they sell the arrangment to this or not, but i have heard this killer jazz arrangement of Poor Unforunate Soul from The Little Mermaid. Denise Shapiro sings it on my Alan Menken cd. I would give anything to find it! It's so cool! It has a neat arrangement of One Jump Ahead from Aladdin, and it's very "swingy"

look at some Irving Berlin numbers too. Rogers and Hart could get pretty jazzy too. "Manhattan", "The Lady is a Tramp", "You Mustn't Kick it Around", to name a few.
