Recently, I heard a DJ tout the musical impressiveness of a Donald Byrd track and of Byrd's music in general. She went into more detail than announcers usually do, citing other standout tracks on an album and noting the top chart positions reached.
While it's impractical to elaborate on-air for every artist that way, it's worth doing when it's feasible. When an artist's musicianship warrants accolades, why not trumpet them?
