Saxophones and Rico Reeds. His compositions have been recognized and supported by fellowships from the
National Endowment for the Arts and the Kentucky Arts Council. Sea Breeze Jazz has submitted ten of his
recordings for Grammy nominations. Six books authored by Mr. Osland are available through Dorn and Alfred

improvisation) can be found in a variety of publications including Downbeat, Jazz Times, Saxophone Journal, and
many others.
The Osland Saxophone Quartet is a chamber ensemble based in Lexington, Kentucky. Its members have brought
