Jelly Roll Morton "Black Bottom Stomp"

This song is very upbeat and sounds like an old dancing song being played on a record player. I could see this at one of Gatsby's parties; everyone would be outside on a patio-like dancing floor with lights all around and a live jazz band playing. This song would be the song that everyone would be dancing to while some of the older sophisticated men stood around and talked while watching. Gatsby would be one of these men and they would be silently judging the people as they came and went. There would be little waiters all dressed up coming around and serving the people champagne and little tasty bite-sized food so the people were kept occupied. This song sounds like it would be the last song to play before everyone headed out for the night.
