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 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 Keystone Korner jazz club, San Francisco. At the time of the recordings, Adderley was under contract to Capitol.

AllMusic | [1] |
The Penguin Guide to Jazz | [2] |
The Penguin Guide to Jazz described it as "a well-travelled private recording from the Half Note, entertaining but slightly mechanical".[2] The AllMusic reviewer suggested that the album was better than Adderley's official Capitol releases from the same time.[1]
