"Radio Nights" is an album released in 1991 featuring previously unreleased live radio broadcasts by the Cannonball Adderley Quartet, Quintet and Sextet from New York City's legendary Half Note Club jazz club. They were recorded by Alan Grant and broadcast live on radio in the last week of 1967 and the first week of 1968. The montage of Adderley's monologues are taken from a recording made at the equally legendary Keystone Korner jazz club, San Francisco. At the time of the recordings, Adderley was under contract to Capitol.
