Jack's BBC recordings feature some substantial mellotron in spots. 

When people describe him as "the bassist in Cream" it's like describing Einstein as "this guy who taught at Princeton." 

He was a really well-rounded musician and composer, and his post-Cream work has many high points and is well worth exploring.

The only track I could find on youtube from the 1975 tour was the encore "Sunshine of your love" alas no tron. I saw him at Manchester University in the early 70's, I already had my mellotron obession then so I'm sure he didn't use one then. I think most of what he played was from "Songs for a Taylor" and "Harmony Row".

I saw Rory with Taste around 1970, one of the best live performances I have ever seen, I remember that I was deaf for 24 hours after, ah those were the days.
