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 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 7.2.

Not your typical ECM album. It's not "third stream" Euro-jazz, it's funky American straight-ahead jazz (well, side 2 starts with a bit of an "out" excursion, but not that far out, and the entire album is very accessible) from a time when that sort of thing could be in short supply. Other than Holland and Steve Coleman, none of the band members are particularly famous, but they're all great players, and they seem totally comfortable with each other. There's no showiness at all; it's a band, and they're playing *together*, not just taking turns on solos. Holland and Marvin "Smitty" Smith are a cooking rhythm section, so much energy. Great album.
