How many scales are there? And can they be found in one place?

Probably the most comprehensive book on this subject is Nicolas Slominksi's Thesaurus Of Scales And Melodic Patterns. However, if you're a relative newcomer to this territory, you might want to start with any number of other readily available sources, in book form and/or online.

Dan Haerle has a good book called 'scales for jazz improvisation' which is fairly comprehensive and well layed out. No patterns exercises really, just scales up and down. It's a good reference to have when you are getting started. peace- mike

Thanks guys. I'll get both and use them as I progress.

Here's a free sheet from SOTW. I find this very handy to give to my students:

The following site has a ton of stuff to use:

Especially the "tools" section I specifically linked.

I love the saxshed site, I just printed off all my scales and the jazz scales. Oh the glories of trying to get back to where I was 4 years ago, when I actually played every day!! (And not just 5 months a year for 4 days a week like I do now with the marching band!)
