Who are some jazz artists/albums that put importance on composing pieces that go beyond melody with chord changes, solos over the same chord changes, melody again?
Anthony Braxton type shit where you can't even tell if it's "composed" or all improvised need not reply.
try Tim Berne
listen to newer jazz in general, traditional head-solos-head sounds old fashioned

Anon, dear, anyone with more than a few brain cells in their head can tell the difference between the improvised and composed (why'd you put them in quotes?) pieces. Polite sage for ignorance.

Have you listened to much Anthony Braxton? Pic related is one of his "compositions."
