'La Bottine Souriante' arrange lots of Breton tunes to big-band-style arrangements, although they keep the trad instruments too. Their earlier albums are great!

There are some Irish tunes that work well. Many musicians including Bill Evans and Ben Webster have done "Londonderry Air" (aka "Danny Boy"), and I like playing "Si Beag, Si Mor."
