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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

Mark me among the minority - I don't object to Sinatra's monologue at all. In fact, I think it captures the time, place and performer perfectly - which is what a Live album is supposed to do, isn't it? The Count Basie orchestra sounds terrific and Sinatra is in good voice (although rough in a couple of spots). The standards from Sinatra's handbook are all here and they are presented well. I am not necessarily a Sinatra fan, but this is how I picture Frank Sinatra to be.
I am a big fan of both Mr. Sinatra and Mr. Basie and I should like this album. For some reason I don't. Maybe it's to much Sinatra and not enough Basie or the boring monologue. Maybe they just weren't synching that night.

I am not a big fan of live albums, this one is an exception. The epitome of jazz vocals. The "monolog" is not that great though.
Not amazing, but good, although that monologue could have certainly been edited out. The rest is competent, but definitely not spectacular. Still enjoyable though.
"Luck Be A Lady" missing here (track 13)?
