Live and act

Ind studied at Trinity College of Cambridge piano and harmony. In 1947 he discovered the double bass and moved to the USA in 1951, where he studied with Lennie Tristano . In 1955 he worked on the recordings for Tristano's debut album, which was published in 1956 under the title Lennie Tristano on Atlantic . He also played with Lee Konitz , Coleman Hawkins , Roy Eldridge , Jutta Hipp , Paul Bley , Sheila Jordan , Mal Waldron , Slim Gaillard , Buddy Rich and Warne Marsh . Between 1963 and 1965 he lived in Big Sur , California. He was the first double bass player in the field of jazz to give unaccompanied solo concerts (including radio recordings).

He then returned to England to work in London as a musician and teacher. With Wave Records he founded his own record company, which still exists today, opened his own recording studio in the 1970s and finally in the 1980s his own club ( Bass Clef ), which was very popular at the time , where jazz as well as Latin American and African music was performed. In 1994 the Bass Clef and the later founded Tenor Cleff were closed.
