Logic has been making waves on the jazz/world music scene since its inception in 1999.  Based in 
Melbourne, Australia,  the ensemble aims to present its own unique, contemporary sound, whilst 
preserving the spontaneous and interactive approach of the jazz tradition.  The compositions of Glenn 
Cannon and Tim Wilson stem from  diverse musical influences, including jazz, drum ‘n’ bass, Latin, 
classical, folk and pop music.
Logic’s self titled debut album was released in 2002 and received glowing reviews and international 
airplay.  Since then the group has also released ‘The Waiting Game’ (2004), ‘Native Strut’ (2008), ‘The 
Hierarchy’ (2010), and is currently working on DVD and touring projects.
The ensemble has supported international acts such as The Yellowjackets, and has performed throughout 
Australia and South East Asia at major jazz festivals including the Java Jazz Festival (Indonesia), Mosaic 
Music Festival (Singapore), Philippine International Jazz and Arts Festival, Hong Kong International Jazz 
Festival, Jarasum International Jazz Festival (South Korea), Nine Gates Jazz Festival (Beijing), Beishan 
International Jazz Festival (Zhuhai, China), Melbourne International Festival of Jazz, Electric Jazz 
Festival and the Ultimate Drummers’ Weekend.  The group has also performed in Taiwan, Malaysia, and 
Thailand.
Between them, members of the group have toured, performed and recorded with various artists and 
ensembles including Ray Charles, Jerry Lewis, Hugh Jackman, Michael Buble, James Morrison, Joe 
Chindamo, Jamie Oehlers, James Muller, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Mike Nock, and Bobby Shew.
