Mike - as a follow-up, the lp was first released in '69 and the cd is very well recorded. Jon Mark plays acoustic finger-style guitar, Steve Thompson is on bass and Johnny Almond does tenor/alto sax, flute, and mouth percussion. The rather unique feature of the set is that there is no drum percussion - it's surprising how little you miss it and these guys really gel together well. It's also totally unlike anything you've heard from Mayall - ever. I remember hearing it for the first time in '70 and hoping that the album's title (Turning Point) meant that this 'style' of John's would continue. It turns out that the cd is a little-known gem among blues fans and should be heard for it's historical perspective if nothing else. After listening to it I think you'll probably appreciate it for the talent though. My favorite cut is "California". It's a PolyGram label. Enjoy!
