Legendary guitarist gets small at New York's Iridium club.

New York — How rare an event was the small-club show Jeff Beck played here on Wednesday night? Well, Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett flew in from his home in Hawaii to catch it. And he wasn't the only weighty player in attendance. Also crowding into the packed-out Iridium, a Broadway jazz club, were E Street Band (and "Sopranos") veteran Steven Van Zandt; onetime Stray Cat Brian Setzer; psychedelic-blues virtuoso Warren Haynes, of Gov't Mule; and such notable Beck buddies as Letterman bandleader Paul Shaffer.
They were all on hand to catch the great guitarist in an uncommon context. Beck's fiery, soaring style — which has been unendingly influential ever since he emerged as Eric Clapton's replacement in the Yardbirds in 1965 — makes glorious use of maximum volume.
