The Chorus and also the "One Long Song" (which is actually called the durchkomponiert) is not limited to Jazz.

As a matter of fact, those two terms for the way to musically look at song structure actually predate Jazz by about a century or more. Started with Western Classical Musics.

However, many people use the vernacular, which actually refers to the lyric placement and not the musical structure of a song.

BIAB uses the terms and structure as taught at university today.

However, there is no reason why something couldn't be set up in a "toggle" situation to allow folks to define their song parts in other ways. This would depend upon pgmusic development, of course.
