Miles Davis songs for a Memorial Service?

My mother in law passed away in our home yesterday.
She'd been with us for months, so it was a lovely, quiet passing.
She told us she wants Miles played at her service.
We have hired a very competent Jazz Trio.
They need two songs from me, I don't know his catalog much.
I'm doing my research, but am getting a little lost, so I came here for help.
She was a vibrant, happy and silly woman.
The service will be joyful, fun, and deep-south celebratory.
What of Mile Davis has a celebratory sound? Joyous?
Thanks!

Any band will know "so what!" and "all blues" both if which are tasteful and crowd pleasing
Twice.
I have had "so what" as a contender from the start, but just played it to my wife
and she says thats the one.
Second song is for end of service/walkout, all blues is maybe a little staid?
More uptempo maybe
Miles Doesn't have a lot of joyous or celebratory stuff in his catalog, but his arrangement of Walkin' is a classic and might fit the bill:
'Leech, that is an interesting suggestion. Wonder if sheet music is available for that arrangement.
ive always found this album joyful yet sober
sorry for your loss
not miles but could be executed by trio at the close
i played this at my grandfathers service recently
