Following in the footsteps of his idol Lester Young, Sims developed into an innovative tenor saxophonist - he also played alto however
and later in his trajectory, he performed on soprano-sax too. Throughout his career, he played with big bands, starting with those of Kenny Baker and Bobby Sherwood after dropping out of high school after one year. He played with Benny Goodman's band in 1943 and replaced his idol Ben Webster in Sid Catlett's Quartet in 1944.
