SKU: A0.1461185

By The Dixie Cups. By Barbara Ann Hawkins, Joan Marie Johnson, and Rosa Lee Hawkins. Arranged by Will Corbin. Jazz,Pop. 24 pages. Will Corbin #1040044. Published by Will Corbin (A0.1461185).

This song has roots in a Mardi Gras chant that ostensibly came from some unspecified Native American language. James Sugar Boy Crawford turned it into a song, and his band, Sugar Boy and his Cane Cutters (southern Louisiana had a lot of that) recorded it in 1953 as Jock-a-Mo, which may mean kiss my ass or a defiant response to that effect. It was recorded again, as kind of a whim, in 1964 by the girl trio The Dixie Cups, who made it a hit. It has since been endlessly covered by everyone from Cyndi Lauper to The Grateful Dead.
This arrangement is essentially solo variations on the main melody backed by horn rhythms. If you want to make it go on endlessly, it's a simple three-chord tune (actually, mostly two chords) that lends itself to simple improv. It's arranged for two trumpets, horn, trombone and tuba.
If you require alternative instrumentation, I'm happy to help. Contact me at wilcor@aol.com.

By The Dixie Cups. By Barbara Ann Hawkins, Joan Marie Johnson, and Rosa Lee Hawkins. Arranged by Brad Esbensen. Contemporary,Pop. Score and parts. 70 pages. Brad Esbensen Music Services #4269897. Published by Brad Esbensen Music Services (A0.774384).

This arrangement of Iko Iko is written in D major and follows a form that is somewhere between the versions recorded by The Dixie Cups and Dr. John. It features a Bo Diddley New Orleans groove throughout along with an open solo section at the end of the chart for any player to have a blow over. Brass ranges are generally moderate (although some D6s are written in the trumpets and A5s in the trombones) and rhythm section parts are notated throughout. I hope you enjoy performing this chart and if you would like it transposed into another key, please e-mail me at brad@bemus.com.au. www.bemus.com.au.
