Thrust – Hancock, Herbie – LP – Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

Released in 1974, THRUST finds Herbie Hancock at the height of his creative power, expanding the boundaries of jazz with a heady swirl of funk, electronic textures, and daring improvisation. Joined by the legendary Headhunters lineup—Paul Jackson, Mike Clark, Bennie Maupin, and Bill Summers—Hancock crafts a sound both earthy and futuristic. The razor-sharp grooves of “Actual Proof” and the cosmic swagger of “Butterfly” reveal an artist unafraid to challenge the status quo, inviting listeners to experience jazz as a living, breathing force.

THRUST is more than a record—it’s a bold statement about where jazz could go, blurring lines between genres and influencing generations of musicians far beyond the jazz world. Each track bursts with inventiveness, from the interlocking rhythms to the shimmering synthesizer work, making this album essential listening for anyone fascinated by the evolution of modern music. For vinyl enthusiasts, THRUST is a cornerstone: a document of innovation, groove, and relentless curiosity that rewards repeated listening and commands a prominent place on your turntable.
