“Finding Carlton is at once illuminating and captivating. Through sterling direction and story-telling, the film manages to preserve Indian jazz culture while also informing even the wisest jazz fan about the music’s migration from American to Europe and to India. It’s a story that has escaped most American jazz listeners until now. …. But perhaps most remarkable is how all jazz musicians -.no matter where they reside on the globe -.share the same love and veneration for the music and its originators. In Finding Carlton, you see firsthand how jazz has come to be a transnational language”

“I’m neither a big time jazz fan, nor an all-out India-phile. But I do love great stories, which makes me a huge admirer of Susheel Kurien’s Finding Carlton.”

“Finding Carlton is wonderful film that artfully balances the fascinating and little known history of jazz in India with a touching human drama of a great jazz musician in the twilight of his career. Filled with humor and humanity, it is a story that lifts the spirit, and sparkles with a soundtrack of musical gems”
