Timeless: The Composer/Arranger Series is the name of a concert series that was created in homage to the composer/arrangers who have influenced hip-hop in the most literal and profound ways. Timeless was conceived by production house Mochilla in Los Angeles during February and March 2009 and included the performances of over 150 musicians in front of ecstatic sold out crowds. These three historic events were recorded and filmed in exacting detail with Mochilla's unmistakable style. From Mulatu Astatke to J.Dilla to Arthur Verocai, the Timeless Concert Series touched upon the works of three musical giants. On the heels of the Timeless limited edition 3 DVD box set release, Mochilla will be hosting a screening of the the film in Los Angeles at the Downtown Independent, including live re-edits by J.Rocc along with a Q&A session with the films producers B+, Eric Coleman, and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. More details about the screening and the after-party can be found here.
