'singer' is the definition.
(I know that Orbison is a singer)

'jarring boris? no flipping' is the wordplay.
'jarring' becomes 'o' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'no' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation).
'flipping' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'flips' mean this).
'boris'+'n'='borisn'
'borisn' is an anagram of 'rbison'.
'o'+'rbison'='ORBISON'
