Opposite Corner

Swedish jazz combo founded by Gunnar Lindgren in the 1960s as "Gunnar Lindgren In The Opposite Corner". A name that, however, was abbreviated to Opposite Corner when in 1971 he participated in the Swedish Radio's Club Jazz, which was also documented on LP. When Opposite Corner was voted to record the 1976 Jazz in Sverige record (on Caprice Records), however, Bobo Stenson had left the band and been replaced by Åke Johansson. The others in that edition of Opposite Corner were trumpeter Gunnar Fors, bassist [a1071451] and drummer Mats Hellberg.
