just about anything will work. a good idea might be to pick a song that you can slide around in like "makin' whoopee" or "blues in the night." and every once in a while start a little less than a half step below the note and scoop into it. violin is fun to listen to in jazz. here's some more ideas

Miss otis regrets
You'd be so nice to come home to

Anything Gershwin or Cole Porter should work. they both were excellent melody writers and are really famous.
