  A new approach to deformation quantization on the cylinder considered as
phase space is presented. The method is based on the standard Moyal formalism
for R^2 adapted to (S^1 x R) by the Weil--Brezin--Zak transformation. The
results are compared with other solutions of this problem presented by
Kasperkovitz and Peev (Ann. Phys. vol. 230, 21 (1994)0 and by Plebanski and
collaborators (Acta Phys. Pol. vol. B 31}, 561 (2000)). The equivalence of
these three methods is proved.
