Try stuff from Benny Goodman with Lionel Hampton (Benny Goodman Quartet), or the Modern Jazz Quartet. I have this book, which includes partial arrangements that you could definitely use and adapt:

http://www.amazon.com/Benny-Goodman-Composer-Artist/dp/0793526256/ref=pd_sim_14_4?ie=UTF8&dpID=51wdzmmhnwL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR118%2C160_&refRID=08VC54KGT9SM7KYBGNAC

You can find standards complete with intros, bridges, and words published in books at the library. Look up "sandards", "broadway", "1930s", "musicals", "Rogers and Hart", "Gershwin", "Cole Porter". They will all be in the same place. "Paper Doll" should be in one.

If you can find it, you could also do "Birth of the Cool" stuff, or Clifford Brown arrangements (like Parisian Thoroughfare, or Joy Spring). Joy Spring is in the old illegal "Real Book".
