Squats, one-legged squats, step-ups, calf raises and lunges would all be good for general strength in that area. Power Cleans would probably be the best for having the most impact on your vertical jump. Being an explosive exercise, it's all about rapid recruitment of muscle in the legs, trunk and shoulders, exactly what you are trying to do while jumping.
