"...The way she sings makes the most cynical dreamer want to fall in love again, the high risk notwithstanding. Get out the vintage synths and keyboards, vibes and glockenspiel, church bells, bells of every kind, tambourine, cheesy drum machines, many stringed instruments and a handful of amazing musicians.
Most songwriters would kill (or should) for the melodic sense and spirit of this urban angel. She's got beautiful music inside her. More and more I see that not all songwriters have beautiful music inside them. Many have a lot of words and feelings, perhaps some should find a partner for the music or try to write some stories...but the songs of Jenifer Jackson never fail to open my heart and allow a feeling of vulnerable wonder to reappear. No, I don't understand it--but I do feel it, every time, and am again surprised. It's so easy to shut down, little by little, so I'm ever grateful to the artists that crack me back open." frank goodman

Soothing
author: Charlie
Very laid-back and dreamy pop with a hint of Bossa Nova and folky as well as jazzy sounds. Nice music to relax to and let your mind float above all things.

SO HIGH is soothing and quite Bossanova-ish
author: MK Matson
Jenifer Jackson is very talented. It is clear she has a beautiful, soft, and unique voice, yet on SO HIGH you can also hear many influences through her voice, including: Astrud Gilberto, Joni Mitchell, Kirsty MacColl, Aimee Mann...the list goes on. This CD is excellent and it is the simpliest songs on SO HIGH that make it so special. It is mesmerizing.

Incrediblly soulful. Downright dreamy.
author: Ted Lieser
This CD is incredible. It hits such a soulful groove that it makes listening to it over and over again a real pleasure. I just got it a few days ago and its been in heavy rotation at our house. Great for Sunday mornings with the paper and coffee as well as Tuesday evenings with a glass of wine and some good friends. I thought her last CD was great but this takes it to a whole new level.
