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 78.4/100, a mean average of 84.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.5.

Aptly titled, thes jazz icons, all great in their own way, combine their unique talents an visions into a seamless whole that makes for a fantastic modern jazz album.

Some great jazz masters playing together: Sounds good but not really convincing.
It seems Gary Burton was the leader and asked Metheney and Corea for compositions - maybe they gave him just the songs that were not good enough for their own albums?
Anyway lovely floating music.
