Try count basie orchestra and John Coltrane. Probably won't find too much of what you're looking for but they are damn good.

Alright, thanks. Of those I think Basie might be more up my alley.

yeah, a good question
I've always searched for straightforward jazz with no improvisations which is not big band

The closest I can think of is slightly jazzy rock like "Moondance" which is mostly just the instrumentation

Listen to Dixieland, Big Band, and maybe Jazz Fusion.

You're missing out on a lot of good music if you're scared of listening to anything that isn't simply structured and predictable. I suggest trying some things outside your comfort zone eventually
