About This Song
About "N.Y.C.'s No Lark" by Bill Evans
A title like a wrong number, and the music follows suit: Evans' piano darts through traffic, bass and drums honking in harmony. 'N.Y.C.'s No Lark' is urban anxiety rendered as jazz—no birdsong, just the clatter of a city that never listens. The tension is manic, the beauty accidental, the calm nonexistent.
