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 72.4/100, a mean average of 72.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

Organ king, a very smooth and swinging album with some good guitar work also

This was recorded the same day as the more popular Back at the Chicken Shack, but it is no less worth a listen. In addition to great work from Smith and Turrentine, Kenny Burrell's guitar further elevates this one.

Another great soul jazz record from the king of organ-jazz. Such a wonderful sound
