This third outing by the ZZ Quartet, co-led by guitarist Ratko Zjaca and accordionist Simone Zanchini, finds the intrepid improvisers and virtuosos on their respective instruments stretching and exploring in separate live settings last year. Recorded in pre-pandemic times at the Milestone Jazz Club in Piacenza and at the Cantina Bentivoglio during the 2019 Bologna Jazz Festival, „Midnight in Europe“ finds Zjaca and Zanchini taking liberties with some of their own tunes they had previously recorded on two previous studio recordings — 2010’s „The Way We Talk“ and 2013’s „Beyond the Lines“. The two also played together on Zanchini’s 2015 album „Don’t Try This Anywhere“, the accordionist’s tribute to the late tenor sax great Michael Brecker.
