Tonight featuring Declan Forde.

Declan Forde is a Scottish pianist, originally from Glasgow, who has been a vital part of Berlin’s Jazz scene since 2014. His music explores the delicate balance between tradition and innovation, blending a deep reverence for the history of improvised music with daring explorations into the unknown. Forde’s performances are known for their dynamic range, shifting from intricately melodic to provocatively disruptive. His music often defies easy categorisation, yet it is always infused with humour and joy that challenge expectations of what Jazz can be.

A regular solo performer, Forde was invited by the Berliner Festspiele to contribute to Rashid Johnson’s installation Antoine’s Organ at the Gropius Bau in 2019. From 2015 to 2024, he co-curated the concert series Practically Married at Donau115 with bassist James Banner, a venue hailed by The Guardian as one of the best Jazz clubs in Europe. The series will resume in July 2025 at Sowieso (Berlin). The duo has released seven recordings to date, including the eponymous Practically Married (2023), recorded directly to analogue tape at Emil Berliner Studios by Guy Sternberg, and most recently a live recording with Han Bennink and Tobias Delius.

“A musical playground of synthesizers, effect pedals and self-made loops and beats, all controlled through a cutting edge use of the EWI and live performance softwares.

With a defined atmospheric character and bursting Saxophone solos, airy melodies, woodwinds and synth layers, the SOLO show is the embodiment of a vision I’ve had for a long time – creating a live performance layout where I will have maximum flexibility of shifting between grooves and moods, hinting core melodic motives and fully improvising in between them, connecting the musical and emotional dots.

It might as well be the most focused and personal dose of my musical self, and the artistic loves and inspirations I’ve gathered through the years.”
