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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.5/100, a mean average of 80.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

Live-Evil is a great mixture of jazz and funk that he would later go on to perfect on On the Corner. This record is one of the best jazz fusion recordings ever, though, and should be a must for anyone who plays or listens to jazz music.

A great amalgamation of Live and Studio recordings. I personally prefer the live selections on this album over the more sedate studio work. Miles plugs his horn through a wah-wah (I don't know if this is the correct technical term) amplifier and let's rip on the live cuts. I particularly lit up for "Sivad" and "Funky Tonk".
