Osteopathy is an Oklahoma City-based jazz project that specifically highlights the music of legendary trombonists J.J. Johnson and Kai Winding. The group is led by two of the region's most prominent trombonists, Than Medlam and Josh Dubois.

The project is a tribute to the "Jay and Kai" era of the 1950s, which popularized the unique sound of two-trombone leads backed by a rhythm section.
