In 1970 Bosko
reorganised the group again. This time he relied on talented young
musicians and formed the B.P. Convention, which toured Austria,
Hungary, Italy, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Germany,
France, Sweden, Norway, India, Japan, the Soviet Union and the
United States. In association with several brilliant jazz musicians
from Eastern Europe (Michael Urbaniak, Zbigniew Seifert, Woldemierz
Nahorny, Csaba Dëseö, Aladar Pege, Radul Mihaly, Janos Fogarasi,
Jiri Stivin, Ernst Ludwig Petrovsky, Simeon Sterev, Dan Mindrila),
Bosko also organized the Novocovertibile All Stars group with which
he plays and records from time to time. Duo with the Zagreb pianist
Neven Franges originates from the middle of 1985. Program which has
Bosko Petrovic written or arranged for the Duo comprises besides a
series of Bosko's original compositions also the so called classical
works by Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, John
Lewis, George Gershwin... Bosko frequently appears on radio and TV
as author and MC of jazz programmes. He is a recipient of the
Slavenski Award the Town of Zagreb Award and Croatian Grammy award
Porin. Today Bosko lives & works in Zagreb, operating his own
jazz club (the B.P. Club) in the very centre of town and
