Rating metrics: Help 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 tracks can have several thousand ratings)

So delicate, so romantic, this is my favorite track of this wonderful album. The song itself is the most concise track on the album reaching a running time 5 and half minutes, the shortest of the 5 songs. The approach is simple enough, Evans will hold it down on the piano while Davis and Coltrane take a solo with a short piano break linking them.

So moody is Davis' trumpet, so much expression and passion as he dynamically squeals out a note before resolving the line smoothly, calm and collected. Soft and gentle like holding a baby, Davis' trumpet is so beautiful and soaked in affection that the track fills me with so much emotion.
