You can also use Debian Backports to get more recent kernel releases.

deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free

Here's the most recent kernel in jessie-backports at time of writing:

Package: linux-image-4.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64
Source: linux
Version: 4.2.6-1~bpo8+1

HTH,
