Following his discharge he moved to Washington, D.C. and played with Bill Doggett, Buck Hill, Joe Chambers, Garland Butts, George Botts, and others. In 1965 Page was recommended to join Jimmy Smith’s trio by drummer Billy Hart and he remained with Smith until 1970.
He was leading his own jazz groups in Washington by 1969. In 1970 and 1971 he worked with Herbie Mann and Roberta Flack. With Jackie McLean (1972-1973), Doug Carn (1973, 1976) Sonny Rollins (1975), Rene McLean (1976), Charles Tolliver (1977).
