Tjoe Man Cheung's NTBM (Not-To-Be-Missed)
More TBA
lvdf @lvdf_jazz
An international jazz supergroup consisting of members from the UK, Italy and New Zealand that have been described as “virtuosos” (The Guardian), “electric”(Okayplayer), and “absolutely crazy good” (Gilles Peterson), lvdf released their debut, self-titled EP on in August via Bridge The Gap. All bandleaders in their own right, the group is a collaboration between four artists at the forefront of their respective, boundary-pushing jazz scenes: saxophonist Alex Hitchcock, pianist and synth soundscaper Maria Chiara Argirò, double bassist Michelangelo Scandroglio and drummer Myele Manzanza.
Grounded in contemporary grooves and production aesthetics, the band’s debut EP blends jazz traditions with modern production and a rhythm-driven focus, balancing gorgeous melodies with complex, flowing polyrhythms and emotive soundscapes.
Tjoe Man Cheung's NTBM (Not-To-Be-Missed) @tjoemusic
NTBM (Not-To-Be-Missed) is a London-based fusion jazz collective led by Hong Kong guitarist Tjoe Man Cheung*, with Ben Crane (bass), James Morgan (drums), Grifton Forbes-Amos (trumpet), and Marco Marotta (tenor saxophone). Blending Western jazz with Eastern Asian influences, NTBM have built a reputation for sold-out shows at Jazz:Refreshed and Ronnie Scott’s, a UK tour supported by Arts Council England, and international recognition with features like BBC Radio 2’s The Jazz Show with Jamie Cullum. Their anticipated album NEON arrives in April 2026.
