"The Turning Point" is a live album by British blues musician John Mayall, recorded at the Fillmore East in New York City on July 12, 1969. This album marked a significant departure from Mayall's earlier electric blues style, featuring a more acoustic, jazz-influenced sound. The performance is noted for its lack of a drummer, which was unconventional for a blues band at the time, creating a unique, stripped-down sound.This results in a more intimate and dynamic sound, with an emphasis on melody and improvisation. The album blends elements of blues, jazz, and folk, showcasing Mayall's versatility as a musician and bandleader.

"The Turning Point" is considered a landmark album in John Mayall's career, representing a bold and innovative shift in his musical direction. The album received critical acclaim for its originality and musicianship, solidifying Mayall's reputation as a pioneer in the blues genre.
