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 1% of all charts on BestEverAlbums.com. This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 91.3/100, a mean average of 91.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 92.7/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 8.8.

Hey everyone, I'm glad I could spread some cool music and nice moments.
This list is not very organized or methodical, usually just how I'm feeling when I decide to update it. So if anyone has questions about it, wants some recomendations not on the chart, or just wants to talk about music, feel free to send me a message :)

Great jazz chart, with some nice hip hop nested in the bottom. There’s not much jazz I could rec that you probably haven’t heard, but try Sun Ra - God Is More Than Love Will Ever Be. It’s a pretty obscure record of his, just him on piano with a bassist and drummer, but I think it’s one of the better piano jazz albums out there. Also check out Sextant and Crossings by Herbie Hancock. Both are great fusion records.

Gosh I feel rather floored by this chart. I wouldn't say I know enough of these records to leave a rating so I'll leave it unrated for now. Definitely will use this for jazz recs, great stuff!

So refreshing to see a chart that's mostly jazz. Great selection! Extra points for not copying Scaruffi.
