Improvisation is instant composition. As long as one's playing some sort of
"instrument" and one's making conscious decisions about what one's playing, one is
composing. Composition comes _out of_ improvisation. There really is no such thing as
free improvisation. Even the freest of improvisers have "licks". And recordings of
improvised music tend to become more like compositions to the listener if listened to
repeatedly.
I realize I'm taking your statement a bit out of contest.
