Jackson & Blake comprised my uncle, Jack Block, and Ellis Jackson. As I understood it Ellis Jackson was a black, rather than "blacked up" and I think the accent may have been genuine, although I never met him. He was a musician and dancer and my uncle was a professional trumpet player - clearly they were both 'variety performers'.
Having done a little research since my earlier comment I find that Ellis
Jackson was a resident trombonist and tap dancer with Billy Cotton's Band. He was the first black person to be a permanent player in a white society band in London.
