Herbie Hancock: Thrust

LP Record In 1974, Herbie Hancock was propelled into the spotlight by the success of his single "Chameleon". The band, featuring Mike Clark on drums, embarked on extensive tours across the United States, performing at festivals and large concert halls for ever-growing and more diverse audiences. The quintet quickly solidified into a tight unit with astonishing grooves devised by Paul Jackson and Mike Clark, who had played together in Oakland and the Bay Area before joining Hancock. With this line-up, the band took off at warp speed, as evidenced by Robert Springett's cosmic artwork on the cover of the album Thrust, recorded in San Francisco in the summer of 1974.
