I've had this tune in my head for days.
One of the basics of bebop was to set a new tune to the harmonic structure of an existing tune, and maybe, alter the chords to make it more hip.
Here's the source for Goovin' High. (Strange disconnect between the sound and the video ?!?)
Surprised me. Now, I guess I'll have to learn it.
Compare this. Egad!

Ahh yeah Whiteman rips it! (Whiteman's band was not always that trad. however)
Actually I usually prefer trad. jazz/swing--Kenton, Duke, Nelson Riddle, even some Whiteman etc-- to bebop, though enjoy some Charlie Parker now and then (and Bill Evans with Miles Davis band). Dizzy's a proficient player, I guess, but a bit hammy/showy or something.
I loves me some Diz. He was a great, innovative player and a wonderful human being. Miles was a turd.
Cheers!
