I have been using the Jackie McLean Warm-up book consistently for a few months now.
He played alto sax. His most famous recording is probably ‘4,5, and 6’ which is his own group. He played with Miles Davis too, and wrote the tune ‘Dig’. He’s the one who actually wrote it anyway. That tune is based on Sweet Georgia Brown.
The book has major scales/chords, minor scales/chords, diminished, augmented across the range of the horn. I play three pages of it with a metronome and have been slowly increasing the speed.
At the end of the book are some transcriptions of Jackie McLean solos including Bluesnik and his solo on Dig.
