In 1925, Percy Cornelius Jewell, a CP Rail employee, married Ida Brooks, and while living in Guelph, the couple had four children: Percy, Ted, Melba, and Pat. Although little could be found about the younger Percy, the other three Jewell children all found moderate success as a result of musical prowess. Melba and Pat formed two thirds of trio known as the “Fabulous PJ’s” performing alongside the white Patti-Jo Patriquin and releasing at least one album together.
Ted, however, went a different route and played as part of the musical accompaniment of several shows at Guelph’s Capitol Theatre, including the August 1950 musical “Up in Central Park,” before studying music at the University of Toronto and going on to graduate from the Royal Conservatory of Music.
Ted Jewell attained post-secondary education and eventually would be named Chancellor of Huntington University. For Melba and Pat Jewell, while their band would have allowed them to tour and generate revenue for themselves, being part of a mixed-race band may have allowed an even greater level of access.
