How does The Great Gatsby relate to the Jazz Age through characters and setting?

Fitzgerald portrays the Jazz Age in The Great
Gatsby in a variety of ways.

First, he sets
Gatsby's parties as great dance and drinking parties. Throughout the night, he
references music. Here are just a few descriptors during the first party Nick
attends:

By
seven o'clock the orchestra has arrived, no thin five piece affair, but a whole pitful
of oboes and trombones and saxophones and viols and cornets and piccolos, and low and
high drums...

The lights grow brighter as the earth lurches
away from the sun, and now the orchestra is playing yellow cocktail music, and the opera
of voices pitches a key higher...

Suddenly one of these
gypsies, in trembling opal, seizes a cocktail out of the air, dumps it down for courage
and, moving her hands like Frisco, dances out alone on the canvas platform. A momentary
hush; the orchestra leader varies his rhythym obligingly for her, and there is a burst
of chatter... The party has begun. (Chapter
3)

The parties are set to the
backdrop of the Jazz Age.

Later in the book, when Daisy
goes to a Gatsby party, she is excited to meet all the famous people and to dance with
Gatsby. (Chapter 6)

Throughout the book, the themes of the
Jazz Age are protrayed through the characters. Fame and fortune were new for many
aspiring artists and the popularity of Jazz made it regular for the common people to
meet some of these artists. Readers see this attitude particularly through the female
characters. Jordan, although low-key, certainly keeps up on the gossip of famous people,
while Daisy is just attracted to knowing all of the interesting and cultured people
after being cooped up in her relationship with Tom.
