Nota: foi sugerido o número indicativo de 5 títulos. Impossível votar menos de 12. Aproveito ainda para me redimir do escandaloso esquecimento inicial, no meu próprio “Balanço de 2008” (entretanto já reparado no blog “O Sítio do Jazz”), do emocionante álbum de Sonny Rollins. Por outro lado, o facto de ter cessado há quase dois anos a colaboração na imprensa escrita, vem reduzindo o acesso a um maior número de títulos e “estreitando” a diversificação da sua origem. Só se vota nos que se conhece.
