Jackie Dougan (1930, Greenock, Scotland – 27 January 1973, New South Wales, Australia) was a British jazz drummer.
Dougan originally played in Scotland with Duncan Lamont's band among others, before moving to London in 1956 to work with Buddy Featherstonhaugh. [1] A member of Tommy Whittle's [2] and Eddie Thompson's [2] groups later that decade, he joined the Dick Morrissey Quartet in the early 1960s. Following on from that he became a member of the Ronnie Scott Quartet, along with another early Dick Morrissey Quartet member, Malcolm Cecil.
After his stint with Scott, Dougan joined the Tony Coe Quintet [3] and later recorded with Stan Tracey (on the Jazz Suite Inspired by Dylan Thomas's "Under Milk Wood" album, 1965), Sonny Stitt, Ben Webster, Al Cohn and Zoot Sims. [4]
In June 1968 Dougan emigrated to Australia, where he worked with Lew Campbell, Don Burrows and others, as well as undertaking a lot of freelance work. He died in a car accident in New South Wales in early 1973. [1]
