Junction is a live album by drummer Andrew Cyrille. It was recorded in May and June 1976 at two different venues in New York City, and was released later that year by the Institute of Percussive Studies. On the album, Cyrille is joined by members of the band Māōnō: saxophonist David S. Ware, trumpeter Ted Daniel, and bassist Lisle Atkinson.[1] Liner notes were provided by Stanley Crouch. In 1977, the album was reissued by the Japanese label Whynot with different track names and sequence.[2]

Henry Kuntz, writing for Bells, suggested that, on Junction, Cyrille paid tribute to fellow drummer Sunny Murray. He commented: "You can hear it on the title track; also on 'Okurinomo,' a slow, high-pitched, ritual-like chanted tune, that evokes from Cyrille the subtly repetitive wave-like motions... that have come to mark the work of Murray. Interesting that this should happen as Cyrille's playing moves more in the direction of ritual... for in that type of structure, repetition is frequently used to great dramatic and evocative effect. I doubt that Cyrille's playing on these pieces is deliberately (ritually) derivative... but is likely more a felt improvisational response to the nature of his own compositions – the emotional demands of the moment. If Junction offers a bit less of Cyrille’s usual all-encompassing drum vision, it is a moving and, on its own terms, important musical statement."[4]
