Solar's quite interesting but it's one of these circular tunes, 12 bars that just go round and round and round... It looks fairly simple but you might find it quite hard to keep up with it! But you must find out.

The Approaching the Standards books might be of interest to you but you need to read standard notation. Make sure you get the C instruments version.

Try any song that inspires you. You don't have to play the chords as they are written and can really simplify the progression. And remember you can play them in whatever key you want so you can take advantage of nice open chords.

It sounds like you are looking for songs where the melody sits comfortably on top of the chords. All the Things You Are, Beautiful Love, and Misty would be good starting places. Sometimes the melody note might be an extension of the underlying chord such as a 9th.

I'd suggest Solar as particularly instructive and fun to play.
