The head sounds a little frantic to me. I've got no problem with the tempo, it's just, at that tempo, I think the accompaniment can use more space. And this is hardly a new style. _________________ "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." Bird

Bebop? Style-wise, it sounds more like gypsy jazz (ala Django Reinhardt/Stéphane Grappelli) to me (even when speeded up using the YouTube options, if that's what you mean).
Not bad, though.
The following is what I would call a bebop rendition of Bernie's Tune (in particular, listen to how the pianist "comps" behind the soloists -- it isn't just a rigid '4 beats to the bar' the way your guitarist strums, it's much more fluid and variable. The drummer provides the rhythmic anchor using the high-hat cymbal, and even that isn't just 4 quarter notes, it's more like quarter/dotted eighth/sixteenth/quarter/dotted eighth/sixteenth and so on. Finally, the chords are extended to provide more complex harmonic underpinnings):
