We study semileptonic B meson decays B{yields}K{sub 1}(1270)l{sup +}l{sup -} and K{sub 1}(1400)l{sup +}l{sup -} (l{identical_to}e, {mu}, {tau}), where the strange P-wave mesons, K{sub 1}(1270) and K{sub 1}(1400), are the mixtures of the K{sub 1A} and K{sub 1B}, which are the 1{sup 3}P{sub 1} and 1{sup 1}P{sub 1} states, respectively. We show that the ratio R{sub l}{identical_to}B(B{yields}K{sub 1}(1400)l{sup +}l{sup -})/B(B{yields}K{sub 1}(1270)l{sup +}l{sup -}), insensitive to new-physics parameters, is suitable for determining the K{sub 1}(1270)-K{sub 1}(1400) mixing angle, {theta}{sub K{sub 1}}. The forward-backward asymmetry shows a weak {theta}{sub K{sub 1}} dependence for B{yields}K{sub 1}(1270){mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -}, but relatively strong for B{yields}K{sub 1}(1400){mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -}. We investigate model-independent new-physics corrections to operators relevant to the b{yields}sl{sup +}l{sup -} electroweak-penguin and weak-box diagrams. Furthermore, for the B{yields}K{sub 1}(1270){mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -} decay the position of the forward-backward asymmetry zero, which is almost independent of the value of {theta}{sub K{sub 1}}, can be dramatically changed under variation of new-physics parameters.
