Saxophonist Keith Oxman performs and records regularly and has taught Instrumental Music at East High School in Denver for the past 20 years preceded by eight years teaching Instrumental Music in Colorado Springs public schools.

A jazz musician since the 1970s, he toured with the Buddy Rich big band in 1986, and has played with artists including Art Blakey, Sonny Stitt, Red Holloway, Pete Christlieb, Jack McDuff, Phil Woods, Dave Brubeck, Jon Hendricks, Pete Christlieb, Louis Bellson, Pearl Bailey, The Temptations and The Fifth Dimension. He has eleven CDs on the Capri Records label. Two of his CDs were with John Coltrane's trombonist Curtis Fuller, one with liner notes written by Benny Golson. Keith is also as a sideman on two of Curtis Fuller's CDs as well as a CD by Charles McPherson, and he has been a sideman on other recordings that have come out commercially but are not on the Capri label. His 2020 CD release with Houston Person, Two Cigarettes In The Dark, (liner notes by Charles McPherson) was widely reviewed and was on the National Top 50 Jazz Week Chart for over two months. It received a 4-star review in the June 2020 issue of DownBeat magazine. In anticipation of that review, DownBeat invited him to write an article on improvisation that they published in the May 2020 issue.
