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 70.4/100, a mean average of 69.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.9.

In 1990 Verve Records through PolyGram Jazz re-released this album and re-titled it as "The Intimate Ella" as part of their Vocal Classics series - (Cat#: Verve 839 838-2). The same thirteen songs are included with Ella backed by the solo piano of Paul Smith. That is the album that I have on hand.
Released the same year as the live Ella In Berlin, this is a studio recording of just Fitzgerald and a pianist, going through the Great American Songbook in a smokey nightclub style. It is representative of Fitzgerald's work on the American Songbook, of her soulful voice at a time when pop, blues, and jazz were forming into soul, and it's a simply gorgeous album.
