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 is rated in the top 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

I've been playing a lot of music to my daughter who is one month old. Sometimes she just ignores the sound. But she really reacted to this. Calmed down, tilted her head towards the origin of the sound and listened.
Like Pharoah Sanders in Promises, Coleman is on top of his game in his mid-70s. This is highly complex music, and he pours out his soul in it. So impressive. And continiously interesting to listen to.
I know Black Midi and Black Country, New Road gets a lot of love on this side these years for incorporating jazz elements. This is something you should check out, if you like those elements of those bands.
I have listened to many of Ornette's albums over the years. He is a genius plain and simple. Although not "conventional" in his playing, I think he expresses emotion better than most other musicians. He purposely eschews convention when it conflicts with his being able to express his raw emotions. Although not as well known as his other works (particularly Shape of Jazz to Come) this album perhaps best shows the emotionalism of his works. My favorite track to show this is "Sleep Talking." The Pulitzer people were wise to pick it for their award.
