Ragtime piano player Sue Keller from the Chicago area playing Solace by Scott Joplin with lyrics by Tony Vincent Isaacs who titled them The Wanderer for the Swingle Singers album, Rags And All That Jazz back in the 1970's. Filmed in Duluth, MN at the Lake Superior Ragtime Festival on Saturday, September 29, 2007. Recorded live at the Mitchell Auditorium on the campus of St. Scholastica. The piano is a 9-foot Steinway model D. This venue is one of the finest outside of Minneapolis and is a favorite of A Prairie Home Companion show.

  • Amazing.

    I have never heard this with singing. Her voice is perfect for it. Haunting.

    Love the way we have her interpretation and also the traditional tempo later on.

    All thats missing is a dark bar a glass of whisky and a smoke. hehehehe

    Thanks for posting.

  • A very romantic and sensitive performance. Well done Sue indeed. Paul.

  • I can understand the dislikes.

    Me myself I think this wonderful.

    Very unique.

  • The vocal section is effective, But what you do to the first part is just SO unmusical.  Sorry.

  • looks like we got 20 karaoke lovers.

  • 19 dislikes, really, because she's creative? You people are completely retarded

  • I'd prefer the classic version.

  • @OhShitOhHellOhWell Tony Vincent Issacs wrote the lyrics for the song for a Swingle Singers album in the 1970s. He did a number of pieces for different vocal groups including the King's Singers. I think Joplin would have approved of the lyrics - kind of reminds me of what he wrote for Treemonisha.

  • Wow... Love it. Are the lyrics Joplin's or hers or someone else's? You know... all I really wanted to do with my life is play ragtime pianos in bars, but unfortunately I'm utterly tone-deaf and bars don't have pianos in them anymore. Slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, man, slings and arrows.

  • complimenti davvero

  • fantastic

  • Excelente Interpretación.  Congratulations!
