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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.1/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.5.

Tapping into Navarro's Memorial Album, I got a bit of a cross section of his output with him appearing with The Tadd Dameron Sexted, The Howard McGhee Sextet, and Bud Powell's Moderists. I was literally thrilled to listen to his remarkably bright and sharp attack on the trumpet. But at the same time he, even while leaping about, could be highly lyrical. He breathes (literally) great spirit into everything he plays. This album is end to end solid with top flight bebop, and a joy to listen to.
maybe it belongs to another year
