Rating metrics:
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 is rated in the top 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.7.

Too Much Scatting, not my cup of tea this time. Otherwise very good, but quite pedestrian in some sense.
Good but the scatting gets a bit annoying, but the absolutely brilliant version of, Angel eyes, is worth the price of admission alone. Although, I'd rather hear a sax or a trumpet instead of Ella's vocal improvisations, it's still good if you can get past them.
A pretty good vocal jazz album. Fitzgerald shows off some impressive and interesting vocal ability throughout accompanied by fitting and entertaining instrumentation.
