On Between The Lines he was accompanied by tenor saxophonist Bob Malach, bassist Jeff Andrews, keyboardist Jim Beard and drummer Dave Weckl. Two songs (Tell Me and With A Twist) feature a different bass player
… and drummer: Lincoln Goines and Dennis Chambers. All ten songs are written by Stern himself. The album was produced by Jim Beard.more
