On Fire: Live From The Blue Morocco is a never-before-released recording of jazz trumpet icon Freddie Hubbard, captured live in 1967 at the Blue Morocco jazz club in The Bronx, New York – featuring Bennie Maupin, Kenny Barron, Herbie Lewis and Freddie Waits. Transferred from the original tape reels that were recorded by engineer Bernard Drayton, the limited edition 3 LP set was mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Le Vinylist. The elaborate booklet includes liner notes by acclaimed journalist Shannon J. Effinger, plus interviews with artists who knew or were inspired by Freddie Hubbard, such as Eddie Henderson, Jeremy Pelt, Steven Bernstein, Reggie Workman, Dan Morgenstern and others.
Released exclusively for Record Store Day 2025.
