Rating metrics: Help Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.3/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.1.

47:a Riffin' the Scotch
aka Better To Burn Out...

He's hot as Hades
A lady's not safe in his arms when she's kissed
But I'm afraid that when he's cooled off
And maybe I'm ruled off his list
I'll never be missed - I MUST Have That Man (Billie Holiday)

People forget. They just do. Jazz was the Devil’s music. It wasn’t no place for a “Lady.” Day or night. These people lived hard. Partied harder. And you know who ruled that scene back in the thirties? Came in and turned everything upside down. A young Billie Holiday. The tempestuous Lady Day!

We tend to be too referential of the old-timers. Especially if they were a Lady. But there’s no denying it. Billie Holliday was a badass. She could zip when Teddy & his gang would zag. Her improvisational skills & riffing changed jazz forever. And she could drink you under the table while doing it. Don’t ever forget that. That would be cheapening her legacy.

And before I bid you good night, remember this as well, Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra was just positively sick => Benny Goodman on clarinet. Roy "Little Jazz" Eldridge on trumpet, & Ben Webster on tenor sax. Those three are household names for a reason. Billie's early recording sessions were positively oozing with talent.

Try just a little taste & you'll see what "just a little moonlight can do"...
