The pianist Django Bates will also be there while the novelty lies in the participation of the cellist Anja Lechner who completes the quartet.
Immediately after its release, “After the Last Sky” will start a European tour. The album produced by Manfred Eicher will be presented to the French and German public with in particular stages at the Philharmonie in Paris and Berlin.
