German-American pianist Benjamin Lackner makes his ECM debut with a star-studded quartet of Manu Katché on drums, trumpeter Mathias Eick and Jérôme Regard on bass

Mathias and Manu share a longstanding association with the label and their respectively unique instrumental signatures can be traced across this set of exclusively original material - eight pieces by Benjamin, one by Jérôme. The bassist and the leader's partnership goes all the way back to 2006, when, Jérôme joined Lackner's trio, which remains active until today. Two decades of close collaboration have moulded them into intimate colleagues, who complement each other's lines intuitively. Mathias Eick and Manu Katché's effortless musicianship enhances the quartet's fuid interplay.

Last Decade was recorded in Studios La Buissonne, Pernes- Les- Fontaines and produced by Manfred Eicher.
