  • Steel Tropics
    author: Richard Keith

    I had ordered this along with "Christmas Paradise" and am enjoying the Christmas music so much that I have only played this one once - but it is terrific and will be heard more often later !! In the -35 temps we get here in Winnipeg, this is heart warming.

    The CD is great - happy music! I love it...

  • 2nd of this artist's CD's purchased. Just wonderful....
    author: Christianna Coomes

    This is the 2nd of Liston's CD's I've purchased. Was looking for a steel band CD that was lively but not over the top loud or rambunxious singing. I'm able to pop this into my CD player at work...and everyone walking by really enyoys it--it's changes those moping Monday morning folks and puts a little swing in their step. Liston's style is relaxed yet sophisticated. Another Winner!

  • VERY pleased! Great music for our boat outings!

  • Bravo, Tom! A Great Mix of Tropical Jazz!
    author: Jim Ziegler

    I really enjoyed the variety of tune styles and the great playing on this CD. It's fun to hear popular Jamaican and great American Standards done in this style. Having worked with Tom for many years, I can tell that it's up to his usual high standard of excellence.

  • Wonderful, jazz-influenced, melodic steel drumming!
    author: Bill Dendle

    Tom Liston has modernized/jazzed up the steel drum without losing any of the wonderful traditional quality of the music. His technique on the pans is incredibly smooth and melodic, and adds a lyrical quality to this genre that I've not heard anywhere else. The rhythm section is impressive also - grooving hard and supporting the steel drums perfectly at all times. This is simply the best steel drum recording I've ever heard!

  • I really like Tom Liston's Steel Tropics CD
    author: Dave Beery

    The Steel Tropics CD is great. I really enjoyed hearing the fresh, new, and extremely melodic style of steel drum playing on this recording. It's really fun to turn it on at work and drift away to the islands. It's one of the best steel drum recordings I've heard.

  • Sounds like a Tropical Paradise in your own home!
    author: Sara Copeland

    As a college student who is always trying out new genres of music I decided to give Tropical Steel Drums a try. I found the music to be relaxing and fun to listen to, especially in the middle of winter when I was stuck in a dorm room with nothing to do. My roomate and the girls across from me actually enjoyed the music too, and if we have a Hawaiian (or Carribean)party in our dorm this CD will be playing in the background.

  • island music with a jazz flair
    author: Larry Koonse

    Steel Tropics is for any listener that appreciates island grooves performed with a strong sense of melody and harmony. Chris Wabich and Anders Swanson provide a sense of groove that makes you want to jump out of your seat and Tom Liston's melodic sense floats effortlessly over the top. The CD is beautifully recorded and the steel drums have a warm shimmer. If you like unpretentious music that buoys your spirits, this is for you.

  • A great jazz latin collection of steel drum music, with infectious grooves.
    author: John Becker

    This CD is wonderful collection of upbeat latin and jazz music, performed by a musical steel drum player. I've always loved the sound of steel drums, and Tom Liston has his own unique sound on pans. It is fun, upbeat music!
