Oscar Evans

Oscar Evans is a Canadian jazz composer and multi-instrumentalist from Kingston, Ontario specializing in upright bass and trumpet. Blinded in his adolescence, Oscar has gravitated toward learning multiple instruments as a medium for understanding music theory and musicianship.

Oscar consistently pushes his own boundaries to create interesting new music. In 2026 he will release two full-length records: one consisting of free jazz, and the other of original compositions. His latest song Nice Buddies (Live) is an original composition and an example of the very talented musicians Oscar has chosen to work with for this record.

You can find all of his new releases on Bandcamp. Follow him on Instagram @oscarmayfieldevans for information about upcoming live performances.
