We are NTBM (Not-To-Be-Missed), a 5-piece original London jazz collective led by Tjoe Man Cheung, a guitarist and composer from Hong Kong. The group collaborates with emerging musicians in London and aims to compose original jazz music while touring the UK and the world.
Tjoe brings together musicians from Eastern and Western backgrounds to facilitate a fusion of cultures resulting in interesting improvisation and experimental music conversations on stage, embodying the essence of jazz. From Asia to Europe, NTBM presents exciting urban jazz music with dynamic line-ups that include string, brass, and percussion instruments.
This exciting project began in London in early 2016 and gained recognition, leading NTBM to perform in Hong Kong and China in Autumn 2016. In 2017, they globally released their first studio LP 'and orange' and embarked on tours in Osaka, Kanazawa, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Beijing, and Kuala Lumpur. In 2018, Tjoe & NTBM was featured on HK Sofar Sounds as one of the top jazz acts in Hong Kong.
In 2019, NTBM recorded their 2nd Album '#mixtape' in Hong Kong during the COVID pandemic, featuring trumpet player Aaron Janik. That same year, they had the opportunity to accompany world-famous drummer Kendrick Scott at the HK Jazz Gala 2019.
In 2020, Tjoe permanently moved to London to pursue a career as a full-time jazz musician. He had the opportunity to perform alongside renowned jazz artists Cassie Kinoshi, Isobella Burnham, tyroneisaacstuart, and is a core founding member of Orii Community & Orchestra. Additionally, he collaborated with emerging artists such as Cherise, Elmiene, Bina, Brown Penny, PYJÆN, and Bel Cobain. Tjoe also performed at notable events like Glastonbury Festival 2023, Xthetracks 2023, We Out Here Festival 2023, and Leeds Jazz Festival 2023, among others.
NTBM recently wrote and recorded their latest EP, titled 'Late Show', which was released in August 2023. Following the release, they hosted a sold-out show with Jazz Re:Freshed at 91 Living Room and an additional two sold-out nights at Ronnie Scott's "Late Late Show", which served as the main inspiration for the EP.
