This You Tube video says it was issued in 1947. The "King of Jazz" as
Whiteman credited himself frequently used chorus but it this case seems
like a little overload where it comes in at 11 minutes and throughout the
finale. I like it, but wish it was done in stereo so you can tell the
chorus from the orchestra better.
