Dylan, with full band, including electric violin. Stories, as only Dylan can tell them. "Hurricane", righteously indignant, "Isis", "Romance in Durango", "One More Cup of Coffee". A couple of the songs have a woman with a beautiful voice accompanying Dylan on vocals.

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 charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 84.4/100, a mean average of 83.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.7.

Nice stuff, keep exploring! If you want more jazz, you should definitely check out the following:
Dave Brubeck - Time Further Out (better than Time Out in my opinion)
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Herbie Hancock - Takin' Off
See if you like any of those. If not, theres tons of great and diverse jazz out there! Feel free to ask me for recs if you want them
