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 73.0/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.2.

If not my favorite Silver, it's easily in the top three. The compositions are engaging, the improvisation excellent, and the final result absolutely top shelf. This is a prefect example of the supreme quality of Silver's early work.

Horace Silver delivers in equal measure his impeccable taste, flowing improvisation, and lively technique, making for a delightful outing with the Jazz Messengers.
