I play the 'A' section mostly around the 3rd position and find this fingering works well if you want to incorporate the Ab:

You know, I didn’t feel like the deedley deedley do part was hard until I read someone was having difficulty. Now I trip up every time, BE COOL BE COOL DON’T BIFF IF, AHH YOU BIFFED IT.

Can I put out a suggestion to do a Dizzy Gillespie tune next?

Hot House would be fun too, which isn’t but I always associate it with Dizzy.

Briks Works is relatively simple. It's in my repertoire so if it's picked I'll do all the positions like you do. It's a good minor blues head, kind of like spy music.
I never learned Groovin High so that would be my pick. Hot House is good too. Dizzy Atmosphere got me thinking about it, since it's on the next page of the Realbook.

If we want to really kick our own asses, Dizzy's tune "Bebop" is an absolute beast.

I definitely like the bridge in the same register as the a section, but I haven't found a real comfortable fingering for those first four bars. Working on it!
-
all right, now to smooth things out and get the metronome up.

Metronome is a good idea but actually I suggest playing it along with the original, slowed down and looped.
You’ll be able to spot any mistakes a little better as well.
