MOVING HEARTS

�Live in Dublin� (Rubyworks): A-

Almost two-and-a-half decades after it recorded a valedictory album and broke up, Irish band Moving Hearts re-formed in 2007 for a series of shows that proved its pioneering fusion of Irish traditional music, rock 'n' roll, jazz and world music remains life-sustaining. �Live in Dublin� captures one night�s performance by what is essentially MH 2.0, which went all-instrumental with the departure of balladeer Christy Moore. With ace players such as Davy Spillane and Donal Lunny aboard, it�s no surprise that the playing bursts with passion and vitality. And while it would have been a incentive to hear this jazz-influenced band step out and jam a bit, fans will be more than satisfied with these sizzling renditions of their old favorites.
