While Joe Henderson seemed to arrive fully formed on his auspicious 1963 debut 'Page One', the album was really a showcase for the transcendent collaboration between the tenor saxophonist and trumpeter Kenny Dorham who would form a potent frontline team on numerous mid-60s Blue Note classics. 'Page One' opens with a pair of indelible Dorham compositions ('Blue Bossa' and 'La Mesha'), with the balance of the six-song set penned by Henderson including his enduring theme 'Recorda-Me'. Dazzling performances by pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Butch Warren, and drummer Pete La Roca further elevate this album making it one of the crown jewels of the Blue Note catalog.
