Jelly Roll Morton- "Black Bottom Stomp"

-This music sounds like dance music. At Gatsby's, it would've been played live by a full band. It seems both generally non-objectionable and also non-meaningful.
-The mood is upbeat and cheerful. The song has a fast tempo, mostly major scale notes, and a variety of instrumentation that seems to contribute to a cheery mood throughout.
-The music seems intended chiefly as dance music, although practically, it would probably serve as dinner or conversation music for those not on but near the dance floor.
