I envisioned Gatsby's parties to be a bunch of nicely dressed people dancing, socializing, and or eating. There would be a live band and lots of fine dinning food options along with practically five star service and waitors. The parties were well planned out and greatly anticipated by people. The song "Black Bottom Stomp" by Jelly Roll Morton creates an upbeat happy feeling because the song is faster in tempo and is lively. It's not slow and drawn out like sad songs and not people wouldn't be sitting and socializing or eating with this song playing.
