Mayal Turning Point

The Godfater of British Blues" features contributions from Mayall, his family, fellow musicians, colleagues, and friends in interviews and performances. Rare archive film from all periods of his life marks his achievements and some of the events that formed them. "The Turning Point" is the earliest rockumentary of Mayall and his musicians filmed in their homes, dressing rooms, motorways, airports, clubs, concert halls, and at festivals. In 1969, Mayall was changing the emphasis of his band away from the "electric circus" of lead guitar and drums to a more gentler approach without drums and acoustic guitar, flutes, and saxophones.

Following the 2021 release '1st Movement', hailed by Swedish National Radio as one of the best of the year, Adam Forkelid's latest upcoming work, 'Turning Point', offers a contemporary Nordic mirror into the journey of life. The music represents a sonic exploration of life's inevitable changes that make up each of our personal stories. Written across a month and recorded in a single day, the record showcases a poignant fusion of the piano and guitar - a collaborative interplay central to the record's identity.

On this debut release on Alex Tronic Records 'Turning Poin't, Snakestyle pursues collaborations with number of musicians including 'Ranking Roger' from the legendary ska band 'The Beat', Other collaborators include vocalist Minnie Rogers, and also producer 'Sweetleaf' and guitarist Osamu Yano, Snakestyle is at present picking up credible airplay and Turning Point is album of the month at Fluid Radio.

Turning Point is a highly appropriate title for this album. After recording his share of commercial fluff for GRP, Kevin Eubanks switched to Blue Note with this heartfelt CD and strived for excellence instead of going out of his way to avoid it. Creativity, personal improvising, and spontaneity are main ingredients of the album, which unites the talented electric and acoustic guitarist with bass explorer Dave Holland and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith, among others. Like so much intellectual jazz, Point requires several listenings in order to be fully appreciated.

Turning Point were a late 1970s fusion band from the UK. The band was formed by Jeff Clyne (bass) and Brian Miller (keyboards), who had previously played together in Isotope, and Pepi Lemer (wordless vocals). Also in the band were David Tidball (saxes) and Paul Robinson (drums). They recorded two albums: Creatures of the Night (1977) and Silent Promise (1978), both on the Gull label.

They recorded just two studio albums: Creatures of the Night (1977) and Silent Promise (1978).

Features the high-fidelity SHM-CD format (compatible with standard CD player) and the latest 24bit 192kHz remastering. A stone killer from organist Lonnie Smith – one of his completely cooking early albums for Blue Note, and a hard-burner all the way through! Smith's working here with a really great group that includes Idris Muhammad on drums and Melvin Sparks on guitar – both of whom give the album a really heavy bottom, and almost make the set feel like one of those classic Prestige jammers from the same time.

First ever CD Release of The 1976 album "Turning Point" From " The Tymes. Includes two bonus tracks: 'Savannah Sunny Sunday (7" Version) ' and 'Need You And Your Kind of Loving (7" Version)'.
