John Coltrane Draws a
Picture Illustrating the
Mathematics of Music

The “Coltrane Circle,” which resembles what any musician will recognize as the “Circle of Fifths,” but incorporates Coltrane’s own innovations. Coltrane gave the drawing to saxophonist and professor Yusef Lateef in 1967, who included it in his seminal text, Repository of Scales and Melodic Patterns.
Lateef sees Coltrane’s music as a “spiritual journey”.
Musician and blogger Roel Hollander notes, “Thelonious Monk once said ‘All musicians are subconsciously mathematicians.’ Musicians like John Coltrane though have been very much aware of the mathematics of music and consciously applied it to his works.”

When you live on the edge of a pond in rural Maine and learn that a member of your community is in dire need of good coffee, what do you do? If you're Jane Chandler, you jump in your kayak and paddle those cases of Love Buzz right over to your friend in need. Jane and her husband Jim live year round on the edge of Bryant Pond, near Bethel, Maine. Jane is the fair trade coordinator for her church and usually delivers the members’ Equal Exchange coffee orders by car or has folks pick them up from her house; but she keeps the kayak tied to the dock for caffeine emergencies. You’re the best, Jane 🫶
