Testament, gravado entre Londres e Paris no final de 2008 é inequivocamente o álbum do ano. Músico maior dos últimos 40 anos, Keith Jarrett parece perseguir obsessivamente um ideal que estará para lá da Música, da Arte, do Belo ou do Jazz. Testament é o Keith Jarrett solo definitivo e foi votado pela crítica de Jazz nacional reunida em JazzLogical como o álbum do ano 2009.
No segundo lugar estão dois CDs: o primeiro do veterano Steve Kuhn numa das mais belas homenagens a John Coltrane jamais realizadas protagonizado por Joe Lovano no saxofone – Mostly Coltrane - , e o segundo pelo jovem (trinta anos) Steve Lehman revelando um engenho incomum (como compositor e director, ele que já se havia afirmado como instrumentista) à frente de um octeto de notáveis, Travail, Transformation, and Flow.
Em terceiro foram votados três CDs: Dave Douglas & Brass Ecstasy (também votado como Músico do Ano), Spirit Moves, um quinteto de sopros «testado» com êxito no Jazz em Agosto 2009; Joe Lovano Us Five, Folk Art, outro disco incontornável que também passou por cá, no Seixal Jazz; e finalmente Marty Ehrlich Rites Quartet, Things Have Got to Change, um disco de produção nacional, da Clean Feed, confirmando a arte maior de Marty Ehrlich.
