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 is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.2/100, a mean average of 78.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.9.

A tad bit boring but okay.
In the context of Coltrane’s work this just nice record is irrelevant.

Best track: Ole
Worst track: Dahomey Dance
I love the bass solos on Olé. Whole album has a great vibe.
There must have been a fad for Spanish tinged jazz albums around this time, but this one was well worth while. The 21 minute title track is a high point

I remember how my jaw dropped the first time I heard Olé!
