- This article is about Jadis, the rock group. There is a separate article about Jadis, the White Witch in C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia.
Jadis is a U.K. progressive rock group. They play guitar-driven rock with the use of synthesizers to add depth and atmosphere, and an emphasis on melody.
History
Jadis was formed in the 1980s and released their first album, More Than Meets the Eye, in 1992. They are led by Gary Chandler (vocals, electric guitar), although generally the whole group is given songwriting credit. Other original members were Martin Orford (keyboards), John Jowitt (bass) and Steve Christey (drums). Orford and Jowitt are also members of IQ.
In the late 1990s, Orford and Jowitt left the band for a while and were replaced by Mike Torr (keyboards) and Steve Hunt (bass), but the founding members returned for 2000's Understand. The band is still active in 2003, but has rarely performed outside of Europe.
