Radio Free D’ni

Welcome to Radio Free D’ni!

Welcome to the homepage of Radio Free D’ni. You will find here both our current announcements and our past playlists. Our links to the music stream are at the top, just above this post.

Generally speaking, we present a new show every other week, at 1300 KI time, with remastered versions of our shows from five years ago in the intermediate weeks. We have pre-show music usually starting 30 minutes earlier (so getting on the stream at 12:30 KI time might be a good idea), and also a good bit of music after the show proper.

13:00 KI is 8 pm in the UK, 9 pm in CET. KI time is Mountain Time in the US, and it follows DST… I can only assume that when Victor Laxman got the KI’s working again he synch’d them to surface time in New Mexico…

Miles Davis at CBS

This week’s theme is the seminal work of Miles Davis at Columbia Records, notably including his setting the world of Jazz on its ears not once, but twice.

259 Jazz Now

A collection of recent releases (2020 – 2024) in the jazz genre, a selection picked by our resident experts Hugh and Nigel.   Some lovely music, well appreciated by our audience too.  Look up these bands if you like what we played.

Jazz Now!

No Apocalypse for Jazz can be seen in the near future, so we will have a look at how Jazz is doing these days—it may be doing it quietly and in the background for the mainstream listener, but it’s there, it’s alive, and it’s kickin’!

132R Chicago part II

Covering the period from their recovery from the death of Terry Kath onwards, there were a lot of changes to go through and some lacklustre albums too.    Hugh had selected the best tracks, and we updated the show with two tracks from the latest album Chicago XXXVIII: Born For This Moment, released in 2022.

Chicago Part II

This week, we will continue the saga of Chicago: what happened after their fatal hit.

258 The Sky’s the Limit

A great set of tracks put together by Hugh around the subject of the sky.   Lots of slower stuff and a wide variety of styles, but all great music and well liked by our audience, which grew to 31 at one point and stayed at 28 for a long while.   Very happy with that.

The Michael Feinstein track Skywriting was cut short in the main show, and the full track was added to the postshow.  My fault, a bad reformatting of the wma original by Audacity.

The Sky

After our look at the sea a couple of weeks ago, we will turn our eyes upwards this time and enjoy the sky for a change.

130R Chicago part 1

A selection of tracks from the celebrated jazz-rock-pop band Chicago, going up to the eleventh studio album just before the death of Terry Kath.  I’m a big fan of early Chicago, no surprise as I’m a jazz fan from way back, and I had a lot of input to this show – the second show is mostly Hugh.  23 listeners peak, a good number, for which we thank you.

Since I talked a lot about the covers, I’ve linked images of them to the album names.  The ones we missed out are Chicago at Carnegie Hall, which is number 4 in the sequence (White Tile), and Chicago IX – Chicago’s Greatest Hits (Painted Billboard)

Chicago. The Full Brass.

This week, we will have a look at the early years of Chicago. Not the Southside thereof—we won’t meet Leroy Brown—but the Rock band that has some real brass.
