The 1980s lineups with Oscar Peterson have alot of fast tunes. Try listening to the Peterson 6 album from Montreux if you ever get a chance.

Didn't Tal Farlow once record Cherokee at 400 bpm?

Jazz OR bebop, you say?

Would Joe Zawinul fit into one of those categories?

I've heard lots of versions of Donna Lee where the intent seems to be to play it as fast as humanly possible. Also those crazy gypsy jazzers like to take a tune like Limehouse Blues and bring the tempo up a notch every single chorus until it's insanely fast.

Not Bebop but generally older jazz.. Stumbling was often played fast, but currently listening to a Danny Gatton version which is very up tempo

In my limited listening experience, Airegin by Maynard Ferguson is the fastest that I've heard.
