Well, when you are singing, it is the accompanying part who should follow the singer, not the other way around. So, if there is any decoupling, it would be on Dave's account.
The camera work on this little series is pretty cool...just like the music. How about that pull back at about 1:30? Compared with the conservative style of American music shows of the time, Digby's Craven Filter series if downright bohemian. I really like the shot from Show #4 of Paul's saxophone framing Dave, digging on Paul's playing, in the background, .
I agree with the earlier post. As a concert producer, I know how no monitors and space can affect singers. But Laurie is so far ahead of the beat in song #1 that she obviously has little ear, plus she's totally flat at the start of song #2. On the other hand, perhaps she was a good cook who made a mean Blue Rondo Stew!
Laurie and I were friends for a short time in 1956 or 1957 when she was singing at the Pearl City Tavern on Oahu. At the time I was an enlisted man in the US Navy stationed at Barbers Point. We both were friends with the zany lip-sync guys, Pantomaniacs, appearing also.
Unlike so many entertainers, she was warm and sincere.
My daughter's name is Laurie, though i must admit my wife just liked the name.
I´m really interested in Laurie Loman. I must confess that I didn´t know anything about her. Her performance is not so bad... Could someone tell me about her biography?
She sang many great songs, with a style and grace to which this video does not do justice. She sang with many bands, in many venues. She was a talented, person who devoted her life to entertaining people. I am delighted that this record of her exists. She was also a loving mother to me.
Yeah, I don't think Ms. Loman's performance ...ahem... quite makes it up to the level of the quartet. But hey... she's doing it live, with no electronic tricks, no foldback, and probably 12 feet in front of the group. Perhaps in context, one should cut her a bit of slack. I don't think any of today's "singing" starlets could do what Laurie's doing here. I guess you have to take the good with the bad. You win some. You lose many. At least it's live and real and Laurie's giving it her best shot.
Back in the early sixties the "classic quartet" was at the top of their game. I like Desmond's break. Laurie's performance works well here.

The introduction and coda are an incidental music, does anyone know what it is?

A nice find for Brubeck fans, but it's obvious that this woman (Laurie Loman)can't count, and certainly can't swing. A hideous vocal performance!
