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 is rated in the top 4% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 89.1/100, a mean average of 91.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 91.4/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 5.8.

Nice to see a wide ranging Jazz list here, with many female vocalists. I would have put Monk in the top 10, but I understand he's not everyone's cup of tea :)

Excellent chart, many of own favourites here. Good to see Relaxin With the Miles Davis Quintet getting some love. Much overlooked in his catalogue.
