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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.3/100, a mean average of 78.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.3.

How did this material not find its way out of the vault for 55 years? Great stuff here!

Coltrane was rightfully famous both for his early traditional jazz mastery and his later avant garde explorations. This music on this album perfectly straddles the line between those periods, somehow being forward leaning and challenging while still being accessible. A genuine marvel and a welcome if belated addition to the Coltrane legacy as well as a meaningful historical document.

Nothing really stands out to me as much as some other albums from around this time like Giant Steps or Africa Brass but there's some great material from Coltrane's classic quartet at an interesting phase in his career.
