Some people trace the development of bop back to Lester Young. Since Charlie was a Prez devotee, that puts him in the right ballpark. But getting back to Diz...
... There is an interesting analysis of Charlie Christian's playing (about 16 pages) in a book named "The Swing Era" by Gunther Schuller . He says in...

Many of the early bop guitarists tried to play like CC, so there's every reason to think the original would have done at least as well as the imitators. ...
The other reason for imaging CC as a bop player (if he had lived) is Prez. Charlie modeled his playing after Lester Young, and Prez certainly had no...
