"Black Batton Stomp" by Jelly Roll Morton

Questions for blog:
1.  How do you envision this music playing a part of Gatsby's parties?
2.  What is the mood?
3.  What activities go along with this music?

Answers:
1.  I think it fits well with how I envisioned his parties.  It fits perfectly with the time period.  Also, I think it goes well with the class of these people.
2.  The mood is very upbeat and exciting.  It's in a major key and the saxophones are very prominent, which both contribute to the upbeat mood.
3.  I picture old, 20s-style dresses, coming with 20s-style dancing.
