Would any of these songs from the big band era be considered real jazz?

IMHO Glenn Miller's band was not very jazzy at all. Tommy Dorsey, while he played a lot of sentimental stuff, had a fairly high jazz quotient in his output. I'm not familiar with all the songs you listed above, but most of them would fit into the category of jazz.
