About This Item
180-gram black vinyl. InchThrustInch is a jazz-funk album by Herbie Hancock, released in September 6, 1974 on Columbia Records. It served as a follow-up to Hancock's album InchHead HuntersInch (1973), and achieved similar commercial success, as the album reached as high as number 13 on the Billboard 200 listing. The lineup for Thrust is the same as on Head Hunters, except that Mike Clark replaced Harvey Mason on drums. This is Hancock's fourteenth album overall. The composition InchActual ProofInch was originally written for the 1973 film InchThe Spook Who Sat by the DoorInch, and Hancock has used it as a demonstration of his style of playing the Fender Rhodes piano. The composition InchButterflyInch would subsequently be performed on the live album Flood, and two other studio releases Direct Step and Dis Is da Drum. InchButterflyInch is the opening track on Eddie Henderson's 1978 album Mahal, which features Hancock on keyboards. Album Tracks 1. Palm Grease 2. Actual Proof 3. Butterfly 4. Spank-A-Lee
