The duets with drummer Paul Lovens of Was It Me? (january 1977), the 23-minute Moinho da Asneira (december 1978) and the 25-minute A Cerca da Bela Vista a Graca (november 1979), off Moinho da Asneira, the 30-minute Catching (june 1980), off Fetch, as well as their trio with Japanese trumpeter Toshinori Kondo Death is our Eternal Friend (september 1982), reintroduced a jazz element, although in a waste land of discrete noises.

Lytton's first quartet, with Hans Schneider on bass, Floros Floridis on soprano and alto saxophones, Pinguin Moschner on tuba, debuted on Adonis (october 1983). Phil Wachsmann on violin and live electronics replaced Moschner on Ellispontos (december 1985).

Lytton was one of the original and stable members of the King Ubu Orchestru with reed player Wolfgang Fuchs, trombonist Radu Malfatti and violinist Phil Wachsmann. The line-up for Music Is Music Is (december 1984) included guitar, cello, bass, trumpet and a second reed player. Binaurality (june 1992) instead augmented the core quartet with trombonist Guenter Christmann, Georg Katzer on computer and electronics, reed players Luc Houtkamp and Peter van Bergen, tuba player Melvyn Poore and bassist Torsten Muller. The notable addition on Trigger Zone (november 1998) was trumpeter Axel Doerner.

Lytton eventually founded a second Quartet (Wachsmann on violin and live electronics, Herb Robertson on trumpet, Dominic Duval on bass) that debuted with The Balance of Trade (may 1996).

Lytton's main collaborations at the turn of the century were Some Other Reason (october 1997) with Wachsmann and the double-CD English Suites (november 1999) with American reed player Ken Vandermark.

In 2000 Lytton joined Vandermark's Territory Band.

Phases of the Night (may 2007) is a trio with Barry Guy, Paul Lytton and Marylin Crispell.
