Here's me playing Blue Bossa for jl12 here at the online school. I thought I would post it for everybody. I tried to play very simple, and i shot the camera from above to see if that would be helpful.
Here's my arrangement of Green Dolphin Street. It's an etude that explores three parts of playing the vibes, chordal playing, chordal playing and soloing and also single line soloing.
Here is a way to practice the blues. Be strict about it... You'll see.

藍調音階，需要很重視語法（phrases），也就是怎樣組成個音階才像blues的語彙。
F blues scale: F Ab Bb B C Eb F
練習方法（in F key）：
先打F and C, 製造一個固定低音的聲響(set a pedal)。再開始即興F blues scale。
先記好每個音中間的音程（Intervals），也就是熟記這個音階。
練習方式：
你可以用問與答的方式自己玩即興。
另一個練習方式，每個小節第一拍第一個音敲擊根音。其他二、三、四拍即興。
常見的藍調曲式：四小節F（一級）>兩小節Bb （四級）>兩小節Ｆ（一級）>一小節 C （五級）> 一小節Bb（四級） > 兩小節F（一級）

Ionian 的結構：比如以C因爲起頭音，一路上行，8個音中間半音全音的關係。全全半全全全半。
你可以用這樣的方式，找到七個調式音階，音根音中間的關係。
然後把這樣半全音的關係，套在不同起頭音（不同調）上面。
Dorian是全半全全全半全。
Behn Gillece plays and talks about My Ideal.
Check out this lesson plan. Check out the simple solo and the scales. Then lets talk.
