Ethnicity, race…and music

I recently found this photo online. If you know jazz, you probably know who they are, and I think it’s from when they toured together.
But one thing I thought of: in the U.S., this is a picture of a white man and a black man. If you don’t know the individuals, would you be able to tell who was who ?

No at first glance they both appear white to me. Of course in the US most black people have some European genes.

@JimboSaturn Yes, that’s true.
