Journey is an album by McCoy Tyner's Big Band released on the Birdology label in 1993. It was recorded in May 1993 and features performances by Tyner's Big Band, which included Steve Turre, Joe Ford, Billy Harper, Avery Sharpe and Frank Lacy. The Allmusic review by Ron Wynn states that "While this isn't among Tyner's greatest recordings, it's still a rigorous, often exciting big-band date".
