About Jack Heavenor

Jack Heavenor is a Glasgow-based jazz vocalist and clarinettist, known for his warm, expressive delivery and thoughtful approach to live performance. Rooted in the Great American Songbook, his work draws on swing, bossa nova and classic jazz repertoire, presented with a modern sense of taste and restraint.

A familiar presence across Glasgow’s live jazz scene, Jack performs regularly in settings ranging from intimate dining rooms to established venues and private events. Whether appearing solo or leading small ensembles, his focus is always on atmosphere — shaping the energy of a room and allowing the music to enhance the moment rather than dominate it.

Time spent living and performing in Shanghai proved formative, immersing Jack in an international jazz environment and sharpening his instincts as a live performer. Collaborating with musicians from diverse musical backgrounds deepened his understanding of improvisation, ensemble awareness and musical communication.

More recently, Jack volunteered with HEART Global on a music outreach tour across Japan, working as both a performer and coach. Leading workshops in schools and community settings, he supported young performers in developing confidence, expression and stage presence — experience that continues to inform his work as both an educator and performer.

Today, Jack balances performance, teaching and curated jazz projects, bringing calm professionalism and musical sensitivity to every setting he works in.
