Touchstone for Manu is a jazz compilation album by Manu Katché released on ECM in August 2014.
Reception John Kelman in his review for All About Jazz says that "Touchstone for Manu puts a very fine period on an eight-year run that positioned Katché as a strong bandleader, an accessible composer... and a drummer whose focus on groove and group interplay over chops and excessive gymnastics remains both refreshing and relevant."
