When it comes to jazz, I am starting to learn to apreciate this genre, but my favorite instrument in jazz is the trumpet, and love to hear Dizzy play it.
What I would like to know is that in terms of technical difficulty, how hard is it to play this song in the double bass:

Since I'm an electric bass player, I don't know much about double bass.
I think it's so incredibly fast, but my knowledge is little so maybe this is "standard" when it comes to bebop.
And also: is it possible to play as many notes as Dizzy plays in another instrument, say, the guitar?
Final note: Check out this performance:
