Peter Ind (20 July 1928 – 20 August 2021)[1] was a British jazz double bassist and record producer.

[8] The ship returned to New York every two weeks, allowing Ind and others to have a fortnightly lesson with Tristano.

[9] After one 1950 lesson, the pianist invited Ind to play the first set that his band had at the Birdland club that evening, as the trio's regular bassist was going to be late.

[13] Ind also played with Tristano, Buddy Rich, Booker Ervin, Mal Waldron, and Slim Gaillard.

[14] Ind also branched into production at this time, and was a pioneer in stereo recording and overdubbing of jazz music in the 1950s.

He founded his own label at the end of the 1950s, where he released the album Looking Out, featuring Joe Puma and Dick Scott.

In addition to his own endeavors, he worked in sound engineering for the labels Atlantic, Verve, Bethlehem, and Warwick, founding his own company, Wave, in 1961.

He is the author of two books: Jazz Visions - The Legacy of Lennie Tristano, a memoir of his association with Tristano and the state of jazz in 1950s New York, and The Environment and Cosmic Metabolism, a look at Wilhelm Reich and concerns about the earth's future regarding energy.
