Here are 2 books of patterns for Jazz & Blues 'style' jazz, from
Aebersold music.

Volume II - Nothing But the Blues
http://aebersold.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=V02DS&Category_Code=AEBALL

Volume III - ii/V/I
http://aebersold.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=V03DS&Category_Code=AEBALL

Each has Concert, Bb, Eb & Bass clef charts & is available with
play-a-long CD

I know a bunch of jazz players that browse the OmniBook (Charlie Parker
transcriptions) for licks & patterns. Consider doing the same with
transcriptions of your favorites.
