Anything in the public domain like Un Gay Bergier? Good luck with that!
Alexander's Ragtime Band, Billy Boy, Beautiful Dreamer, are all in the public
domain and are commonly re-arranged.

Hi Dennis,
There have definitely been some high-profile covers of Summertime in the 21st
century -- it still gets reinterpreted for the contemporary pop market on a
regular basis, and it is virtually unique among American Songbook tunes in this
respect.
