Mellotronists

I realize I'm replying to a very old email, but I finally heard a clip 
of this band today and I think I'm going to have to add it to my list.  
Thanks for the review... Quite interesting.  It's not often that you 
hear a tron in any form of jazz!  (digression: when is it no longer 
considered "jazz"?)  Has anyone in the NY area ever seen these guys?

[If you have iTunes you can hear clips by going to the iTunes Music 
Store, search for "Medeski, Martin & Wood."  i.e, click on "End of the 
World Party (Just In Case)" CD cover, then click on the first track, 
"Anonymous Skulls."  It's only 0:30 but it's got a little bit of 
everything.]
