I know one album of Herbie Hancock at least where Mellotron is stated on the cover (but not featured very obviously), and the first album of "Jazz Mandolin Project" (which is, too, a more or less rare instrument in Jazz!) the bass player is credited to use it, but I have never found out for what...! Maybe he used it for SFX? Anybody has this record, too? Thomas

Hancock used one on three albums, Jan Hammer, Passport (as has alrady been mentioned), obscure Spaniards Iceberg, Return to Forever's live album (anyone got this to confirm? 'Tron apparently played by Gayle Moran), recently deceased Polish keyboard maestro Czeslaw Niemen... loads. Andy T.
