jazz aids for clarinet

Hi all--

I'm having fun trying to play jazz on my bass clarinet. What I WISH I had was a book that simply has all the scales and arpeggios--major, minor, augs, dim, half-dim, dom7, extensions--WRITTEN FOR CLARINET, sort of like the Joe Viola Berklee books for sax, but written to include the clarinet's chalumeau register.

I've got a nice old out-of-print Buddy DeFranco book that includes some of the above scales but not all; and an old book by Fred Lipsius that's actually quite good in theory but limited in terms of note range. It probably would profit me to use the Lipsius Viola books and interpolate the lower register, but I'd rather have something on the printed page.

Anybody know of anything like that?
Alternatively, any workbooks to recommend that you jazz players USE on a daily basis to keep theoretical and technical chops sharp?
