1974's "THRUST" is perhaps one of the greatest 'fusion' albums of all time. "Actual Proof" is still the funkiest piece of music I've ever heard. Herbie's Rhodes solo on the album's original recording of this track- "Butterfly" is one of the most beautifully voiced, magical solos ever.
When Herbie was about to ask “Is this even Japan?” I woulda heckled you’ve clearly never been to Oklahoma Arkansas or Kansas LoL where women pay guys for sex LoL

Dave Edwards I'll second that!
💯 You just took the words out of my mouth. Both BUTTERFLY & ACTUAL PROOF are exactly top favorites on the album
Yeah, I always told people that Butterfly on Thrust is one of the best tracks of that era, or any era. Masterpiece
Man Child though...

R.I.P. Paul Jackson The Great!!
Herbie has made an enormous contribution to the jazz repertoire throughout his life but this era late 60’s early 70’s is by far my favourite JS
Clarke and Jackson. Should be mandatory study for any aspiring musician. They are the gold standard
Absolutely 🙏🏻
couldn't agree more
The ORIGINAL Headhunters band! Love it.
Ooooh this is butter. I can't wait for my 'Thrust' album to arrive
