CHRISTIAN JAZZ & STRAIGHT AHEAD
Featuring Aisha Brooks-Lytle (vocals), Carl Brooks-Lytle (guitar), Micah Jones (bass)and Tony Deangelis (drums-2000 to 2004).

OUR MUSIC (What we do):

The Brookslytle Christian Jazz Ensemble is made up of an eclectic group of musicians from the Philadelphia area. They have developed a sound that is rooted in traditional jazz while it expands in styles ranging from folk, rock, gospel, and blues. In the midst of an ever-growing Philly music scene, they are distinguished by a unique use of interplay between the vocalist and the instrumentalists. With a repertoire ranging from jazz standards, innovative arrangements of pop songs, praise & worship songs and hymns as well as original compositions, this ensemble weaves a message of hope throughout every performance. Harmonically the band produces a textured sound, forming a musical tapestry that is soothing yet remains interesting through the use of vocal and instrumental improvisation.

OUR MISSION (Why we do what we do):

First and foremost, we love and worship our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As disciples of Christ, it is our responsibility to exercise stewardship of the musical talents we have been given. Secondly, this CD is a meditation of what is true, honourable, just, pure, pleasing, commendable, and worthy of praise (Philippians 4:8). It is our joy to produce music that is 'life-giving' while pointing people to the true giver of life.

As we've grown as musicians, we've come to understand jazz as a powerful medium of Christian expression. Our hope is that our listeners will deepen their relationship with Jesus or begin a new relationship with the Savior. We pray that it this project blesses and inspires all who hear. Enjoy!

- Carl and Aisha Brooks-Lytle

  • Fantastic voice and guitar!
    author: David Smith

    This is a wonderful CD which shows that a sensitive use of jazz musicality with christian lyrics can create a very moving and inspirational blend. Aisha has a beautiful voice, and Carl's guitar weaves effortlessly through and behind the singing. The bass and drums blend really well too, never trying to take over. I look forward to more!

  • All That and then some!
    author: Erica Minor

  • Great jazz playing with a Gospel sensibility
    author: Tim C

    A fantastic CD. Blends sophistication of great Jazz with heartfelt Gospel sensibility. They manage to touch on several genres (think world music vibe) expertly while retaining a very distinct personality. Awesome.

  • author: Charlene

    This CD is excellent. It brings wonderful Jazz sounds for the worshipping and glory of God and it does an marvelous job. The voice of Aisha Brooks-Lytle is very angelic and beautiful, also calming and soothing. The entire CD can be played without skipping or moving forward. Yet as we all have favorites, I love He's My Peace and His Ways. These songs seem to help usher me in God's presence and meditate on him and give him glory. I would recommend this CD to everyone.

  • This Gospel-Jazz CD is Inspiring, Relaxing, and Spirit-Filled.
    author: Kathleen Walls

    His Ways is inspiring, relaxing, and Spirit-filled. I enjoy listening to it (and singing along) throughout the day. I use it as additional praise time, and even prayer time when I can't find my own words. This Gospel-Jazz CD has found its way into my regular rotation of music.

  • His Ways brings a fresh sound to the legacy of gospel music.
    author: Leslie Brooks

    His Ways brings a fresh evolutionary sound to the great legacy of gospel music. Each song invites the listener to pause and reflect on their relationship with God.

  • A soothing fusion of jazz and Christian lyrics.
    author: Natalie McDonald

    Soothing to the soul. A change of pace to ease stress and unwind. In a unique format, reminds us of the truly important things in life and gives an invitation to worship God.

  • "His Ways" moves your soul
    author: Dave Exley

    "His Ways" is full of passion, emotion, & soul and thankfully, unlike many of the worship CD's being released today, it moves past that contrived realm that most Christian artists get stuck in as they search for a 'hit'. The instrumental performances are filled with depth, the vocal arrangements are rich, and the song writing is top-notch. If you're looking for something to move your soul you need look no further than Brooks Lytle.

  • Classy. A true refreshment for many occasions. Very well done.
    author: Elaina M. Harrell

    I believe that I have found what I've been wanting for a long time. Gospel put together in jazz. This CD is peaceful yet you'll find yourself turning up the volume, bopping your head, and stomping your feet. God has been glorified.

  • Smooth, beautiful and just worth listening to
    author: Fairlight Collins-Jones

    His Ways is a wonderful compilation of both original songs and new arrangements. The Brooks-Lytle combination is heavensent. The angelic voice of Aisha coupled with the amazing guitar of Carl make this album one you want to leave in the CD player all day.

  • Awesome, Peaceful, Serene, Ministering, Soothing, Jazzy
    author: Kia Belo

    Imagine the Lord picking you up, wrapping you in his arms, and holding you close to him, letting you know that everything is okay. The response is peace, joy, comfort, security and love. Listening to this CD gives me an opportunity to focus on the things that matter in life....His Ways.

  • Christian Jazz at it's finest!
    author: Tahiese

    The lyrics combined with the musical arrangement of each song allowed me to not only hear the message, but also feel exactly what they wanted to say and I believe that in a variety of tempos (mostly mellow), I could understand a little better what God's promises are to us and the yearning we should have for Him because He's been so good. I enjoy listening to this cd when I want to meditate, yet also when I want to feel more peace and when I am full of joy. I really don't have a favorite song...I truly Love the whole cd!...And what a voice-Bellisima

  • Awesome!!!
    author: Leon

    Awesome! Uplifting! Bold! Truly an inspiring musical expression. For Christians who just happen to be fans of Jazz music, this CD is a must have! Carl and Aisha have mixed a perfect blend; a generous helping of Spiritual manna with a good dose of spicy Jazz flavor. Sit back, relax and prepare to be Blessed...and Jazzed.

  • beautiful and inspirational
    author: Jay

    This is just a fantastic CD, beautiful and inspirational. Aisha's voice is angelic, and Carl is clearly an accomplished musician. This is a great CD to relax to! If you're into "praise songs", you'll like the cover of "As the Deer". If you're a jazz fan, it's love at first listen...if you're not a jazz fan, this CD just might make you one!
