John Mayalls position in the British Blues world of the 1960s was akin to Art Blakeys position in the North American jazz scene. Both were gifted discoverers and developers of talent in addition to being notable musicians. At various times, Eric Clapton, Peter Green, John McVie, and Jack Bruce were members of Mayalls ever changing band. In 1968, about the time when the talented blues guitarist Mick Taylor left to play for the Rolling Stones, Mayall radically reconceived his usual electric guitar led format. His live album The Turning Point was the refined result of this risk taking.
Mayall eliminated the drummer in his new mix. Perhaps this was partially inspired by the presence of the talented bassist Steve Thompson, a deeply jazz influenced musician who provided a surprisingly flexible foundation for this innovative band. Both Mayall and acoustic guitarist Jon Mark ably switched off in the rhythm guitar role, helping to highlight the intricacy of exchange among the bands musicians. With an acoustic guitar and, at times, a flute in the mix this drummerless arrangement was ideal.
Jon Marks excellence on guitar was in many ways the hub of the band, bridging the strong voices of the bands bassist and saxophonist. Whether soloing or working as an accompanist, Mark was consistently imaginative, at times displaying impressive classical technique. Johnny Almonds bluesy, jazz saxophone generated much of the fire. His long solos, for example on Thoughts About Roxanne, drove the band from above, providing a foil for Mayalls vocals while Steve Thompsons bass guided the band from below.
