These are some selections from my every growing library.

Anyone Can Improvise (VHS, DVD)..................Jamey Aebersold
Charlie Parker Omnibook................................Michael H. Goldsen
The Real Book (either Bb or Eb)......................Hal Leonard Corporation
The Art of Saxophone Playing........................Larry Teal

I also have an extensive collection of CD's and DVD's of musical performances and various music scores. I also study with as many other saxophonists/musicians as I can. I have found that it is better to get information from as many sources as possible than to rely solely on 1 teacher. I am also planning on the purchase of the Rascher book "Top Tones for the Saxophone". This would completely contradict my Rousseau book on altissimo. I like taking all views about the saxophone and forming my own conclusions as to what works best for me. You should find any or all of the material listed above as helpful. Welcome to the world of jazz.
