Rating metrics: Help 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 18% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

My album of the year for 1955, and really, my favorite drummer. Hard to pass on Krupa or the Joneses one or all, but there's just something about this guy's ear for a groove...
There's a movie that shows up on cable/satellite periodically called "Jazz on a Summer's Day" about the 1956? Newport Festival, and this band's segment is one of the high points; but the whole thing is terrific, especially Anita O'Day's appearance.

They have a very orchestral way of playing, it's understated and extremely interesting, very well done.

You have probably seen P.T. Anderson's an excellent film "Boogie Nights" (1997). If you are, you have heard of Chico Hamilton's music. The beginning of the film a porn director (Burt Reynolds, as made of the role) arrives home late at night with a porn actress (Julianna Moore, would be too good for nothing more than a pornstar!), and goes over to the turntable (LP) and put a playing Chico Hamilton's music. The currently playing track is "The Sage". The director has come home from the disco - and want to hear something really great! Great scene. Thanks to this movie, I found this album.
