The Turning Point

by John Mayall

Recorded at the Fillmore East, this live set captures the blues patriarch consciously stripping away his loud, electric sound for a more intimate, acoustic-leaning quartet featuring flute and saxophone. The resulting pastoral arrangements redefined British blues by incorporating jazz nuances and folk-like introspection, famously featuring the harmonica showpiece 'Room to Move'.
