About Turning Point

There are 3 artists named Turning Point. 1) is an influential straight edge hardcore band from New Jersey, active in the late 80s to early 90s. Later material strayed away from their previous youth crew style to take on a more melodic and introspective sound. 2) is an instrumental jazz group based in Phoenix, Arizona. The idea for the band was conceived by the guitar and bass duo of brothers Thano and Demitri Sahnas. When the two met drummer/percussionist John Herrera and keyboardist Steve Culp on separate gigs shortly after, Turning Point was formed. Brian Bromberg produced and appears as a guest bassist on the 2002 release, A Thousand Stories. 3. 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,[1] and Pepi Lemer (wordless vocals).[2] 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 toured the UK, including supporting National Health in 1977. Their final tour in 1980 included Allan Holdsworth and Neil Ardley. P. Lemer was the then-wife (later divorced) of Pete Lemer and went on to become a vocal coach, including working with The Spice Girls. Robinson later worked with Nina Simone. Miller worked on the musical Cats for several years
