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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.1/100, a mean average of 77.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.6.

Pepper Adams on baritone sax is just fantastic throughout this album, famously said by Morgan to be a last-minute replacement for Hank Mobley's tenor. No shade on Mobley, but it works out great--Adams kills on this album. Morgan's fifth album as a leader, at nineteen years old, before his stint with Art Blakey, more than half a decade before his hit albums like Sidewinder. Miles's bass and drums with Blakey's pianist, and everyone sounds energized and fresh.

Lee is one of my favorite jazzmen. Being bit biased , therefore I must like this :)

A very solid album, but a bit bland next to the likes of The Sidewinder and Cornbread.
