Jackie Washington

Jackie Washington (born 12 November 1919 in Hamilton, Ontario) is a legendary Canadian blues musician. In addition to his own albums, he has appeared on recordings by Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton, Joni Mitchell and Gordon Lightfoot.

He has also been a regular performer at many Canadian folk and blues festivals, several of which have named awards in his honour.

Jackie comes from a large family of musicians, including his brothers Reg (Hammond B3) and Dickie (drums) Washington (now both deceased), who played with saxophonist Freddie Purser for many years during the 1970s and 1980s at the Windsor and Royal taverns in Hamilton.

In 1995 Washington was inducted into Hamilton's Gallery of Distinction.
