Henderson is featured in a group with trumpeter Kenny Dorham, pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Butch Warren and drummer Pete La Roca.

The pieces on the album were written by either Henderson or Dorham, and include two pieces that went on to become jazz standards: Henderson’s "Recorda Me" and Dorham’s "Blue Bossa".

All of the musicians are listed on the album's front cover with the exception of Tyner, who is credited as "ETC."

[8][9] PopMatters, by contrast, prefers later works, indicating in one review that Page One "has the careful feel of a leader’s first session".

[10] The album was released on CD in 1988 by Blue Note and has been in print consistently since then.
