I am also an alto and have a fairly good range. I'm doing "At Last" for my slow piece and "I Will Wait for You" for my medium tempo piece.

A Night in Tunisia is a solid standard. I think this one is the best for an up tempo, because you can really whip it along.
There is also walking my baby back home
Fascinating Rhythm and
I let a song go out of my heart (AnEllington tune I love. It can be iterpreted up tempo if you swing it real hard)

What sort of group are you singing with? I might suggest "Easy to Love", or some other Cole Porter song. There's a great recording of Diane Schur singing it with big band.

What about something vocally simple that allows for a lot of style to be added in? I'm quite partial to something like "Honeysuckle Rose" and people know it so the crowd will be on your side. I would sing something like that.

East of the Sun (and West of the Moon) is a favorite of mine. All of You, Joy Spring, or Devil May Care are good ones too.
