Evans experimented with several instruments: alto horn, trombone, and alto saxophone.[1] In the 1920s, he played baritone saxophone in Chicago as a member of the Creole Jazz Band led by King Oliver and the Dixie Syncopators.[1] He played C melody saxophone when he supported singer Priscilla Stewart. With Oliver he played soprano saxophone, then alto saxophone with the Red Hot Peppers led by Jelly Roll Morton.[1] Evans also worked as a sideman for Erskine Tate[2] and Jimmy Wade.
He died at the age of 23 from tuberculosis.[3]
