Upon returning to Los Angeles, Jessy joined the Geraldine Fibbers, with whom she recorded two albums. In 1997 she moved to Minneapolis, joining The Jayhawks.
Jessy has played with a number of artists including Wilco, Atmosphere, Joseph Arthur, Soul Asylum and Dessa of Doomtree. She has toured with several artists, including Foo Fighters for 18 months in 2007 and 2008. She has also appeared with Pink as part of a 10-piece string section on American Music Awards in 2008, and as the only string player on Pink's Funhouse Tour in 2009. She played at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival as part of Exene's band the California Mothership in 2010.

Nice And Slow
Wo-o-o, wo-o-o, wo-o-o, wo-o-o ....
I feel so good ¡like a lover should!
You set my soul on fire
You get me gone, go on and on
And see the flames grow higher
Wo-o-o, wo-o-o, wo-o-o, wo-o-o ....
We got it made, don't let it fade, keep movin' on
You get me gone, go on and on
And see the flames grow higher
Let's keep it high, don't let it die, keep a groovin' on
Nice and slow
Nice and slow
Nice and slow
