>jazz song has intricate, complex composition but also free improvisation
>mfw
what are the best albums like this?

Out to Lunch and The Black Saint & the Sinner Lady are the most obvious ones. Mingus Ah Um also has a fair amount of composition going on. Birth of the Cool by Miles is an early attempt to synthesize classical music and jazz.
The genre you're looking for is called 'Third Stream', by the way. Point of Departure by Andrew Hill also has composed bits.

That's pretty much the whole idea of post-bop. Some essentials are:
Anything by Andrew Hill, especially Point of Deprarture
Wayne Shorter- The All Seeing Eye
Cecil Taylor- Unit Structures
Grachan Moncur III- Evolution
Bobby Hutcherson- Dialogue
Eric Dolphy- Out to Lunch, Iron Man
Chick Corea- Is
Kenny Wheeler- Double Double You
David Murray- Ming
Some modern interpretations of the genre:
Dave Ballou- Dancing Foot
Alex Sipiagin- Destinations Unknown
Craig Taborn- Chants
David Binney- Lifted Land
Tim Berne's Snakeoil- You've Been Watching Me
Dave Scott- Brooklyn Aura
