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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.3/100, a mean average of 79.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

An absolute classic for your late-night moods. Great arrangements and lovely tones. Jazz played like this can never go wrong.
A masterpiece. Bill Evans conducts his trio with the precision of an orchestra maestro. The recording is not only a showcase of live talent, but also a collection of lush, decadent arrangements.
My Foolish Heart and Detour Ahead feel like Bill Evans is plucking your heartstrings. The lightness and soft nature of this album reflect the delicateness of a fragile heart. His cover over Milestones is also a testament to his ability to play variations on established modes. Very enjoyable record.

I love hearing some of these seminal jazz records that sound like they were recorded in the back room of you favourite dive, 30 people there in a smoke filled room at 2am. All sipping a nice shot or two of something. Very intimate. Absolutely brilliant.
One of the most eloquent jazz piano albums I've ever heard. Highly recommended.
A beautiful late night jazz album recorded at the village vanguard. It's a lovely record if you want to hear some jazz but without the saxes and trumpets. It truly is superb with the title track and, milestones, particularly nice. A great lights out LP.
It reminded me of the times I played the first 'The Sims' game. The album rarely excites and it goes on a long time. I think you will like the album is you like pianos though.
