Arc is the latest new label from long time musical maestro Gilles Peterson. He describes it as a label for "curiosities and gems from the basement" and the first offering is this reissue of 1978 album of psychedelic jazz. Mexican drummer and composer Tino Contreras is the man behind it, adn after Peterson met him at a gig in Mexico having initially unearth the record while digging in Japan, it was agreed they would put it you again. It is lively, playful and broad in scope. Perfect for Peterson, then, who describes it as somewhere between "a David Axelrod record and a release on Saturn. I've always had it as one of my secret gems."
