...proof of the new unity among jazz, rock, the blues, soul, even the pop song. A single event at the Roseland Ballroom, for example, will offer both the sophisticated big-band arrangements of Harry James and the Latin style of Tito Puente. At Carnegie Hall, Pianist Keith Jarrett will spin forth some of the most elegant, technically proficient, classically tinted jazz since Art Tatum. On another night, Vibraharpist Lionel Hampton and Pianist Teddy Wilson will mix it up with Drummer Buddy Rich and Bassist Milt Hinton in what should be a vital remembrance of the swing...

...motor rather than to drive the wheels directly. If the flywheel's speed drops below its normal operational minimum (6,000 r.p.m.), the motor can be operated on power from overhead electric lines. Simultaneously, this power source-or in the future, underground transformers-can also be used to spin up the flywheel again...
