Hugely helpful book for me. Not for the faint of heart!

(Since you'll have to read tenor clef too) here's Klengel etudes in all 3 clefs, e.g. page 12. I don't have any advice on bass clef, except to play scales, arpeggios and easy scores slowly. The first step is muscle memory. I don't read bass clef anywhere near as well as treble, even after decades of piano playing.

This would be good for bass clef reading, and a book many sax players would recognize (in treble clef): http://www.amazon.com/Chord-Studies-Electric-Bass-Technique/dp/0634016466

There's more resources for tenor clef, like this trombone book:

+1 to the Reading Contemporary Electric Bass Book.

Not saying this because that's my alma mater, but the Berklee Press has a fantastic array of reasonably priced method books.

Ray Brown transcriptions are great exemplars of jazz vocabulary on bass (http://www.jazzcapacitor.com/pages_bass/raybrown.html)

That's all the technical stuff. Beyond that, jazz is communicative and requires that you build up your experience by playing with diverse players in diverse situations. It's just as much about the nuance of negotiating the dynamic underlay of spontaneous music-space as it is addressing the technical overlay of the chart, so go out and jam as much as possible.
