An original composition by Eric Croissant (me). The song features solos from Luc Deneui on guitar, Eric Croissant on Tenor Saxophone, and Jonathan Schlitt on the Drums. I wrote the song Spring 2015, but didn't have a title for awhile. Ultimately, I asked my friend Jonathan Schlitt what I should name the song, and he said "something with Falafel in it." So I went to an online name generator, with only the word "Falafel" and this is the title that stuck out to me. Anyways, enjoy the song, all feedback is greatly appreciated!

The song entitled "You've Got That Thing" by the great John Daversa. The song features Alex Brandenburg on the vocals and Eric Croissant (me) on the Tenor Sax (Just ignore the wrong notes, I didn't really have changes to go off of haha). Alex brought the song to a little Jam between friends.

The song is entitled Vagabond, and written by the stellar string serenader, Avery Scanlon. The song is meant to represent every basic swing song ever written, and the "In the changes" type of sound. Well, actually the exact opposite of the previous sentence is true. Regardless, the song was a ton of fun to play, and features Eric Croissant (me) on the E.W.I. 4000s, Avery Scanlon on the Guitar, Alex Brandenburg on piano, Alexis Rosenberg on Alto Sax, and Jonathan Schlitt on the Drums.
