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 artists can have several thousand ratings)

An absolute legend. One of the great blues men of all time.
A great nurturer of fabulous British blues talent through the 60’s. (Edited)
I own about half a dozen Mayall records, and enjoy them all. He's someone who if I see a record in a second hand store I am confident I will enjoy it. Jazz Blues Fusion is probably my favourite at the moment. Seems underrated on this site.
