True story; a gentleman named Jeremy Parker who lived on the island of Mallorca left his JM collection in his recently sold house. Since last Friday I have 4 original vinyls and I am now a for real Mayall fan.
Fantastic band I saw in Brussels in 1969. The best concert in my life, I was on stage à 2 meters from John. No drums but fantastic groove from Jon Mark and Johny Almond. What a great time
@@jimdep6542 Our family was introduced to this album by my Mothers friend who dated a pretty good sax player. I wish they had done more music in this style, but one album of this quality is better than none.
Can you imagine if John Mayall would have recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama back then ? What a great sound that he and his band would have gotten with Rick Hall behind the mixing board......along with some of the legendary Swampers.
Super great album with phenomenal band these were the peak years with usa union (jazz bles and fusion) and other great albums killer music from all directions in that era
I was reading through the comments and then I saw the one right above. I thought to myself, " you've got THAT right, pal ! "......and I gave it a thumbs up. Then I see it was my comment from a few months ago........I un-checked it,. But still....great minds think alike......and yes, sometimes I crack myself up too.
I can't remember who introduced me the The Turning Point, but whoever it was, thank you! I was a sophomore at UC Santa Barbara, that's for sure. This is one of my most heavily played albums. I would live tosee a video recording of the live performance.
Fantastic documentary do have the lp Turning point wonderfull songs on it big fan of John Mayall and have 21 lp's 5 Double lp's 4 7inch singles and 5cd's not that much
12:40 Peter Green...Such a pure soul. He admitting that all those arguments and quarrells with John Mayall were probably his own (Peter's) fault. Take a look at those eyes... Sheer bondness. LOVE YOU Peter Green.
Eric Clapton is one of those people who say the first thing that comes to their mind without thinking. Giorgio Gomelsky opened the first blues club away from the gangsters who operated the dance halls. Alexis was active within this, eventually broadcasting on radio, but specificity on Klooks Kleek and John Mayall requires concentration and consideration for Long John Baldry's effects and Stevie Winwood who quietly formed with Spencer Davis Group as a blues based folk-rock vehicle to which revealed itself from England to an American phenom 15 years later in Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs, Delaney and Bonnie, Mylon Lefevre and Elvin Bishop abandoning the blues for a U.S. radio country music sound. Certainly Winwood was just as much a guitarist as Eric Clapton but had a vision that surpassed even Hendrix who begged to be part of Traffic. It is forever baffling, especially after the shellacking Clapton took in the press near 1969 he has edged his way into what the press continues to publish as a blues musician of the highest stature.
I was in the Railway Hotel in West Hampstead London one wet Tuesday lunchtime when John Mayall & a Journalist / cameraman from the Ham & High Newspaper .. were sitting .. at my usual table .. John did not look happy .. It turned out that John was there to be pictured with a Blue Plaque .. which ought to be hung up some where .. & if you know the old Starlight club / Looks Kleek & the Moonlight club ( the Hotel is built on the corner & the Studio where the Beano Album was recorded is around the corner Decca .. ) anyway I was the only one who knew who John mayall was .. Barman could not give a monkeys & after John left looking seriously pissed off .. I watched the Barman toss the Plaque onto a pile of Bar towels .. I offered to buy it .. & I never found out what happened to it after .. Sad but true .. ask John .. & while you are at it see if he knows .. who owned the publishing to Stormy Monday ?? .. I was told once that it was written in London by a couple of Jazz guys & passed off as an ' old Black Blues Tune ' but really these two white guy's had written it & recorded the original demo .. which they sold for publishing ( beer money ) & it was sent out to a number of artists until it was picked up & became a classic . I would love to know if this is true ?? .. like House of the Rising Sun & so many of the other old tunes .. Buddy guy said one time " everybody played versions of all those old blues Hollers & chain gang chants .. it's a s crazy as the two Nuns who wrote " Happy Birthday " .. sadly a lot of old folks who used to hang around in those days are gone . I met Pinetop Perkins in a bar in Kilburn High road .. at least he said he was .. & he looked like him .. Kilburn High road & the Old Railway Hotel .. Steeles & Dingwalls .. Lots of history there ask Suggsy from Madness a very nice bloke .. There used to be Music shops all over .. & the original Denmark street was amazing back in the days .. Good luck with the documentary & make some more .. from an old muso who used to live in West Hampstead .. Ben & there was a club called The Mo's New Shoe's club .. some gr8 music got played in those sessions ..
Another reason to boycott anything to do with the so called Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, how the do you not have John Mayall in there? Travesty,mentor of so many, one of the most influential musicians in British music
The Turning Point is one of the best Jhon Mayall´s album , is an exquisite mix of jazz and blues, i never get tired of listening to it.
Brings tears to my eyes to see Peter Green relaxed happy and enjoying his life reflecting on John. ❤️🎸🙏
True story; a gentleman named Jeremy Parker who lived on the island of Mallorca left his JM collection in his recently sold house. Since last Friday I have 4 original vinyls and I am now a for real Mayall fan.
That was a good day and a good sign for your new maison too. Congratulations sir
I'm 70, born Durban,ZA.always loved Blues. It was my first love ❤️ after my Mum. John Mayal was my midwife so to speak.
John Mayall... still pushing....strong heart and mind
Fantastic band I saw in Brussels in 1969. The best concert in my life, I was on stage à 2 meters from John. No drums but fantastic groove from Jon Mark and Johny Almond. What a great time
RIP John Mayall
Many Thanks You Master Of The Blues
May The Good Blues Force Be With You
I first heard The Turning Point when I was 8. It’s still one of my favorite albums ever. That was 48 years ago.
Mark / Almond were great on that , weren't they. Somebody in your family had really good choices of music for you to grow up with.
@@jimdep6542 Our family was introduced to this album by my Mothers friend who dated a pretty good sax player. I wish they had done more music in this style, but one album of this quality is better than none.
But thanks to JM, we're blessed with a rare quality of Mark/Almond releases!
👌👌👍👍👍👍
Thank you for this rare video which reinforces my idea of MR John Mayall: a great Artist and a beautiful Person.
@michelij - And a great collector of...
Went to see John in Chelsea on tour he was 80 years old fantastic gig he didn't sit down for 2 hours 🎤🎸🎹🥁
I first heard this album in 1971. One of my all time favourites. Has a great feel, particularly the sax playing.
Incredible documentary
Thx !!! great ambiance... and smells !! 😉
Can you imagine if John Mayall would have recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama back then ? What a great sound that he and his band would have gotten with Rick Hall behind the mixing board......along with some of the legendary Swampers.
Greetings from Florence Al!
@@greenmanalishi6963 Thanks....glad it's cooled off some . How's life for you these days in the Shoals ?
Thank you for posting this! So loved this album … a boomer living in Oz and surfing back then … great memories!
Turning Point is my favorite Mayall album..
Great,really great.
Obviously I was born too late,these are real musicians,
Super great album with phenomenal band these were the peak years with usa union (jazz bles and fusion) and other great albums killer music from all directions in that era
I really enjoyed this, thank you. It takes me back to the days when life and music were exciting.

I first heard jm, in '68.My older bro would buy the latest LPs every Fri night.
More than I expected to find on aturning point. Terrific and thanks!!!!!!😊

How many great musicians did Mayall nurture? His music has and always will be legendary
Love it.♥

Peter green was their best guitarist in my opinion
Yes without a doubt.He had that"spooky feel".And his vibrato and tone was fantastic.
♥♥
Rest easy 🙏
💙💙💙
23:42 Peter Green is a LEGEND!
This was clearly John's creative high point, better than Clapton, Green or Taylor (1969).

T Bone Walker wrote and first performed Stormy Monday in 1948....then called "Call it Stormy Monday (but Tuesday's just as bad).
