Boško Petrović rođen je u Bjelovaru, 1935. godine – umro je u Zagrebu, 2011. godine. Bio je hrvatski vibrafonist, skladatelj, vođa sastava, producent, promotor, diskograf i jazz edukator. Osnovao je popularni jazz sastav Zagreb Jazz Quartet u kojem su, osim njega, svirali još Zlatko Kružić (glasovir), Zdravko Šatrak (kontrabas) i Ivica Gereg (bubnjevi). Bio je vlasnik B.P. Cluba u Zagrebu, u kojemu su nastupali brojni svjetski glazbenici. Vodio je mnoge radijske i televizijske emisije, organizirao brojne glazbene festivale, sve to dok je u isto vrijeme djelovao i kao producent i kao pedagog. Boško Petrović je u svom ranom djetinjstvu počeo svirati violinu, da bi s navršenih petnaest godina prešao na harmoniku. S četrnaest godina, slušajući američki radio, postaje zaljubljen u jazz i ostaje mu vjeran cijelog svog života. (Wikipedia)

Croatia Records je 2022. godine reeizdala album “Tiffany Girl“, originalno izdat 1985. godine, koji je Boško Petrović snimio u formi kvarteta – Boško Petrović (vibrafon) ; Kenny Drew (pijano) ; Peter Herbert (kontrabas) ; Alvin Queen (bubnjevi). Ovaj album je imao nekoliko izdanja, a najnovije je, između ostalih oblika, izdat i u formi Long Play 180-gramske gramofonske ploče uz remaster snimaka sa originalnih magnetofonskih vrpci uz download code mp3 verzije tog albuma.
Album “Tiffany Girl“, kao i druga vrijedna izdanja Boška Petrovića bili su “škola” za mnoge jazz naraštaje – kako slušatelja jazza, tako i izvođača jazza. Boško Petrović nas je, nažalost, napustio. Njegova bogata diskogradfija, srećom, tu je da i nadalje plijeni svojim kvalitetnim i teško ponovljivim ostvarenjima.
