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 78.7/100, a mean average of 78.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.3.

A mind-blowing thing. You can listen to it anywhere, anytime, I listened to this while on the train and watching the August summer days beauty passing by the windows, magical music
The Kyoto concert ranks with the best in Jarrett's career (I would rank it at the top, tied perhaps with Bremen/Lausanne). Several of the others here are excellent as well. As a package, it captures Jarrett at the height of his powers.

This is a massive work - clocking around 6.5 hours! - by improvisation master Jarrett. It is hard listening to it in one go due to its enormous length but the music in it is all worth it, so go for it. I've been listening to this throughout the week - one or two tracks per day - usually at nighttime and I found the work pretty impressive. One of the best 1978 releases (record in 1976).
