Strictly Powell is a studio album by jazz pianist Bud Powell, released in 1957 by RCA Victor, featuring a session Powell recorded in 1956.
The album was remastered and released on CD by BMG Japan in 1994, and re-issued by RCA in 1995. The session is also available on The Complete RCA Trio Sessions.
This is the first of Powell's two sessions for RCA Victor. There are four new Powell compositions (not counting "Elegy" which two weeks previously had been recorded as "Elogie" for his final Verve session, released on Blues in the Closet), and in the original LP liner notes Leonard Feather marks out "Blues for Bessie" as "the most remarkable ... a completely spontaneous improvisation from start to finish". Concerning "Elegy", Feather notes that it "scales up and down little ladders of fourths".
All songs were written by Bud Powell, except where noted.
October 5, 1956, New York. The Bud Powell Trio.
