Havana has rug designed for jazz singer (5,7)
I believe the answer is:
sarah vaughan
'singer' is the definition.
(I know that Sarah Vaughan is a singer)
'havana has rug designed for' is the wordplay.
'designed for' indicates an anagram (letters re-designed).
'havana'+'has'+'rug'='havanahasrug'
'havanahasrug' anagrammed gives 'SARAH VAUGHAN'.
'jazz' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
