A Different Journey is an album by drummer and bandleader Chico Hamilton recorded in 1963 and released on the Reprise label.

[1][2] The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: lots of advanced yet logical improvising, and more than its share of variety.

The group had its own sound and was quite underrated during its relatively short life.

A gem.On All About Jazz David Rickert wrote: By this time Hamilton had cast off the light, chamber jazz directions he pursued in the fifties in favor of the advances of Coltrane and Coleman.

In Lloyd he chose a perfect musical director; his compositions are not based on melodic heads as much as they are springboards for challenging improvisation.All compositions by Charles Lloyd
