Yes, it's the '54 recording which is roughly 6 minutes long. The exact album I have it from is titled "100 Jazz Classics". I wasn't aware there was a shorter version though.

Now that I've re-listened to it, you're right. You might get an odd look or two during the drum breaks... I'll see if I find anything else...

A good one is "Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me" by Sidney Bechet off the album "The Fabulous Sidney Bechet".

It's nearly 6 minutes long and maintains a solid, upbeat tempo throughout.
