The vertical jumps—high jump and pole vault—both include a certain margin for error. Unlike the horizontal events—long jump and triple jump—every inch doesn’t always count. The idea is to jump over the bar and land in the pit without knocking the bar over. In the short run, it doesn’t matter whether you clear by a millimeter or a foot.

The best rock instrumentals of the ’50s happened because rock and roll evolved in part out of the larger “dance band” trend when advances in audio technology made it easier for small combos to energize a party or club. So it was only natural that oldies instrumental hits, already a ’50s staple in jazz with classics like Jimmy Forrest’s “Night Train” and Ray Anthony’s “Peter Gunn Theme,” would evolve into a rock-based form....
