Using a large data sample of p anti-p collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.96 TeV recorded by the CDF and D0 detectors operating at the Fermilab Tevatron, the orbitally excited B mesons B_1 and B*_2 are observed directly as two separate states in fully reconstructed decays to B(*) pi+. The masses and the mass differences between the states are presented. In the charm system, the orbitally excited D mesons D_1 and D_2* are observed in fully reconstructed decays to D(*) pi+. Measurements of the product branching rates of semileptonic decays B --> D-bar** mu+ nu(mu) X and their ratio are presented. We also present the observation of the semileptonic decays B_s --> mu nu D**_s where the excited D**_s states are reconstructed in the mode D**_s --> D* K0(s).
