Larry McKenna, he's bad!

This guy Larry McKenna is one of those dudes who seems to have magic fingers when it comes to playing hip inside, tasty lines.  Dig this clip of him playing "Groovin' High" and check out the transcription too while you are listening.  He's got a lot of gems in there you can emulate.  Outside of Sonny Stitt, I don't think I've ever heard anyone put bebop lines together so fluently.    HERE is the link to both the recorded solo and the transcription.  HERE is the transcription only.
