The Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra has been a legend in the LA jazz world for over 60 years. But since the death of its founder, Horace Tapscott, the band has spent the last three decades ebbing with the tide of history. Keeping Time follows new band leader Mekala Session as he tries to honour the legacy of the group while establishing a new path forward.
