The House That Trane Built: The Story of Impulse Records

The dynamic fifteen-year saga of the enduringly popular jazz record label guided by legendary saxophonist John Coltrane.

Following the path of its star musician John Coltrane, Impulse Records cut a creative swath through the 1960s and 1970s with the politically charged avant-garde jazz that defined the label's musical and spiritual identity. The House That Trane Built tells the story of the label, balancing tales of individual passion, artistic vision, and commercial motivation. Weaving together research, dynamic album covers, session photographs, and nearly one hundred interviews with executives, journalists, producers, and musicians—from Ray Charles and Alice Coltrane to Quincy Jones, Pharoah Sanders, McCoy Tyner, and others—this is the riveting tale of an era-shaping jazz label in the age of rock. The thirty-eight Album Profiles—a veritable book within a book—offer a consumer's guide to the best and most timeless titles on Impulse. 120 illustrations.

At about 1:30 P.M., on Friday, July 2, San Jose Fire received reports of a balcony on fire that was spreading to the roof of an apartment complex. County Engine 11 reported heavy smoke visible from the Fire Station driveway and upon arrival request a second alarm. Within 15 minutes, San Jose Battalion 10 struck a third alarm. The fire damaged several units in the involved building, but it was quickly contained to the one building - a concern since there are a lot of tightly packed wooden buildings in the complex.

The fire started on the ground floor balcony where children playing with a sparkler accidentally ignited a sofa.

In June, 2010 San Jose Fire Department responded four alarms to a house fire on West San Carlos Street. The fire destroyed an abandonded Victorian structure. Opressive heat ont he day made fire fighting efforts more difficult and resulted in the fourth alarm to provide extra man power. Mutual Aid was provided with Engine and Truck Crews from Milpitas Fire Department, and Engine from Santa Clara and Overhead support from County Fire.

Air Unit 31 is used to refill Breathing Air tanks during larger incidents. It is built by Pierce on a 2005 Freightliner chassis.
