So, I finally recorded this. Took a long time for me to be able to play the head somewhat smoothly. Many pushups. I wanted to delve into bebop, so I started with one of the first tunes Dizzy recorded. I was pleased to discover that the original recording features a guitar. I found a nice backing track. Here's the link, this channel features some good backups: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNG2cJqlcao
When working on my improv I started with the triads and the arps and tried to add enclosures and pivots and chromatic leading notes etc.
