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 71.7/100, a mean average of 71.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

The combination of Grant Green, Larry Young and Elvin Jones played together on four albums, this one, Larry Young's Into Something and Green's I Want to Hold Your Hand and Street of Dreams. Into Something (with Sam Rivers), is perhaps the most consistent of the three, but I think "Talking About J.C." here is their best single track and Green's best single performance, its modernity pushing Green's playing to its limits.

A good album but it is not one of my favorites. The organ dominates most of the songs, the lack of horns is evident-
