about

“One Thing Led to Another” is a slow bossa nova, in the sensuous style of the Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim. I used flugelhorns to add that warmth, and I spiced it up by adding a “big three” to the groove—basically the drummer hits the floor tom on the third beat. To be honest, I first encountered that trick watching Bugs Bunny as a kid. In one sketch, Bugs puts a fruit basket on his head and starts dancing to avoid being shot by Elmer Fudd; Bugs moved his foot to the side to mark that third beat and that really stayed with me. (Bugs Bunny is basically Music History 101, right?) It’s a simple tune, intended to put a listener in a mellow mood. The title? Well, I was thinking about a couple just hanging out having a good time, and all of a sudden that good time blossoms into something more…and whatever happened, happened…
