Application of Conti/Jacobs licks

Heard "Wives and Lovers" on KCSM earlier today. I've recently transcribed Grant Green's version so I knew it's a different version and confirmed later when the saxophone joined. Still, I heard quite a bit of Grant Green influences. More importantly, a lot of licks from Conti and Jacobs' books were present in the solo! It's a great example of how to "speak" in the bebop language. I've just looked it up. The track is from Bob DeVos' new album, Shadow Box. I also enjoyed another of his Burt Bacharach cover, the Look of Love from his other album, DeVos' Groove Guitar!
