New York-based singer/songwriter Jenifer Jackson mixes jazzy vocals and blissful pop into reflective, literate songs. Her debut album Slowly Bright won her much critical acclaim, as well as a deal with Parasol, who released her second album Birds in early 2001. Two years later, Jackson's brightest material to date, was captured on her third effort, So High, marking her first for Bar-None. ~ Heather Phares
