In 1995, Lindström made her major breakthrough. After being awarded the "Jazz in Sweden" prize, she recorded her debut album, Another Country, on the Caprice record label that year. This was followed in 1997 by I Saw You. In 1998 she recorded and toured with Norrbotten Big Band, led by trumpeter Tim Hagans in collaboration with pianist Kenny Werner, resulting in a CD featuring music by Kurt Weill as well as repertoire associated with Frank Sinatra, which was released in 1999. For several years, Lindström worked with pianist Steve Dobrogosz as a duo. In 2000, they released Feathers (Prophone Records). She has also toured and recorded with bass player Anders Jormin (Once, Dragon Records, 1997).
Her 2003 album, Walk, marked the start of a new collaboration with the Amigo record label, followed by In The Middle Of This Riddle (2005). These two releases consist mainly of her own compositions, and were unanimously praised by critics and audiences alike. Her latest album, Whistling Away the Dark (2006), has also been very warmly received. This is her first album in her own name, and like her previous two albums, was recorded at the famed Atlantis studio in Stockholm.
The song "Leaf" from In the Middle of This Riddle was recently remixed by American DJ and producer King Britt, and was exclusively released on iTunes Europe. Another track, "Here", from the same album was featured on Saint-Germain-des-Prés Café, Volume 7 (disc 2: Ladies in Nu-Jazz), the second of a 2-disc compilation release featuring tracks by artists like Beady Belle, Michael Bublé, Jamie Cullum, Susi Hyldgaard, Norah Jones, Alice Russell, and others.
Throughout the years, Lindström has also worked with other bands and projects and appeared on several occasions as a featured vocalist with renowned jazz groups, big bands, chamber orchestras, and symphonic orchestras. She has given concerts and toured extensively throughout the Nordic countries as well as France, Belgium, UK, Japan, and Canada.
While first and foremost a jazz singer, Lindström has yet never been opposed to stepping beyond the boundaries of jazz. Today, she is one of Sweden's most prized jazz singers.
In the fall of 2008, Jeanette signed with the Swedish independent label Playground Music Scandinavia/Diesel Music, and subsequently released her new album Attitude & Orbit Control in September 2009. Magnus Öström (from e.s.t.) co-produced and also played drums on the album.
