I was told by my teacher that I should do more jazz sightreading for saxophone. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good publication I could buy?

Charlie Parker. i have an omnibook of his, amazing stuff, great licks. this will help sightreading, and also improv soloing. hope this helps.

dont do any sightreading, just improvise and play to music you enjoy. The easiest way to sound good and have fun is to use blue scales. I the the D blues scale is the easiest to work with. (d,f,g,g#,a,c,d)

cityredneck, that is by far the worst advice I've ever seen! Do you not realize how crucial sight reading is in the jazz world? At gigs you're often expected to play a chart well on the spot w/ no practice time whatsoever.
And yes, the blues scale is a great way to add to many chords, but If you're just playing the same 6 notes over and over, the blues scale will NOT make you sound good.
