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.
The word Jadis comes from French. It means "yesteryear" in that language. An alternate translation is, "bygone." Please refer to the medieval poem by French poet Francois Villon, the Ballade des Dames du Temps Jadis, or the Ballad of the Ladies of Bygone Times, whose most famous refrain is, "But where are the Women of Yesteryear?" This poem mentions famous women (real and fictional) of history and literature such as Beatrice, Joan of Arc, etc.. It is the most famous of the poems written by Francois Villon, who---for all his fame---died in obscurity.
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)...
