Watts Towers article with jazz overlay

[Unk]

I enjoyed this article in Harper's about the Watts Towers.  (You know the towers from the cover of Don Cherry's "Brown Rice" (mentioned in the article) and Harold Land's "In the Land of Jazz" (not).)

Not jazz per se, but the cover for the World Pacific Henry Jacobs album featured the Watts Towers as well, The Wide Weird World of Shorty Petterstein.

The Watts Towers are just a short block from Charles Mingus's LA home, where they now have Mingus youth programs, mostly non-musical IIRC.
