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 86.1/100, a mean average of 88.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.3/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 12.7.

Me gusta. Bonita mezcla de jazz y pop rock de los 60 y 70. Un acierto incluir a Serrat.

Brilliant chart, with wonderful jazz picks. I probably would have ranked Ornette higher, but hey ! he's there and that's great already. Nice to have that Coltrane/Hartman masterpiece in there too. Van The Man also gets well-deserved mentions.
