There's also a kickin' version of this song on Donald Byrd's 1963 album
'Up With Donald Byrd' (Verve) which also features Herbie on keys and
Candido on percussion. (I remember there's also a couple other noteworthy
sidemen on the album, but I don't remember the names.) The album also
features a fantastic jazz-funk take on 'House Of The Rising Sun'.
