[Dixielandjazz] Changing the subject to tempo

There are tunes that are usually played at a fast tempo.  But occasionally I 
wil hear
a band play one of those at a slow tempo (or medium slow)---and it turns out 
rather
nicely.  A few examples come to mind---
..."After You've Gone" ----- "Limehouse Blues" ----"World is Waiting for the 
Sunrise"--
---and some others that escape my memory right now.
-----
And one example of a slow tune (at least it is by the current popular 
version) that
works quite nicely at a medium fast tempo---"At Last"

Some other examples come to mind?
