Thrust is a studio album by American jazz-funk musician Herbie Hancock, released in September 1974 on Columbia Records.[7] The album reached No. 2 on the Billboard Top Soul Albums chart and No. 13 on the Billboard 200 chart.[8][9]

Background[]

Thrust was produced by David Rubinson and Herbie Hancock.[7]

Covers[]

Actual Proof was covered by Roberta Piket and the Peter Trio. Butterfly has also been covered by Norman Connors, , Eddie Henderson, Toto, Azymuth, and by the Robert Glasper Experiment.[10]

In popular culture[]

A variation of the composition "Palm Grease" was used in the 1974 vigilante film Death Wish, starring Charles Bronson.

The composition "Actual Proof" was originally written for the 1973 film The Spook Who Sat by the Door, and Hancock has used it as a demonstration of his style of playing the Fender Rhodes piano.[11]

The composition "Butterfly" would subsequently be performed on the live album Flood, and two other studio releases: Direct Step and Dis Is da Drum.
