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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.0/100, a mean average of 79.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.5.

Satie - before you wonder why I've changed the name of this LP check Discogs, which seems to list this as the title rather than Showcase Vol. 1 (which is a pretty shit name for a record if you ask me). It was your inclusion of Junior Delahaye on your chart that got me listening to some old Wackies stuff - totally forgot how amazing this LP was. Chip In had always been my favourite Jarrett album (Junjo Lawes production, Scientist engineering), but this tops it.
