Carl Evans Jr.
February 19, 1955 – April 10, 2008

carl-evans-jrCarl Evans Jr. was the keyboardist for San Diego contemporary jazz band, Fattburger. Evans began playing the keyboards as a child and by the time he was in high school, he was in a funk band called Power. The band was so good that Barry White hired them to go on tour with him, forcing Evans to finish high school a semester early. In later years, Evans could be heard performing with the likes of Cannonball Adderley, Stevie Wonder and Anita Baker. In 1984, Evans co-founded Fattburger, a jazz band that found great popularity throughout Southern California and beyond. They recorded several critically acclaimed albums and earned a Grammy nomination. Evans died at the age of 53 of complications from diabetes.
