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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.8/100, a mean average of 71.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.7.

Yazz is a British / Bahraini jazz artist and this is her fourth album. I love bands like Sons Of Kemet, The Comet Is Coming & Ezra Collective & Yazz slots straight into that illustrious company.
I find this album very interesting with its mix of Persian and progressive jazz influences it takes you on an interesting journey through Jazz’s heritage. When listening to this album you certainly get the feel of the Bahrain influence in the music. Not everyone may feel this when listening to this album but it conjures up a portrait of the desert for me.
There’s complexity and real beauty in the music here. It can be hard to keep track of all the instruments on display here but they all play their part in creating a fabulous sound. There’s a great groove to the album as well which carries you along effortlessly.
This feels like the very definition of a fusion album. Arabic, modern jazz and Yazz’s trumpet playing. Phenomenal. Yazz also allows the other musicians on the album to have their share of the limelight.
The album as a whole works really well. A great piece of work
