The way my ears hear it is that almost all notable arrangers composers in jazz are or were jazz improvisers. The jazz feeling is in the arrangements or orchestrations. They also can be improvised on depending on how the musicians feel, or played with an unmistakebly jazz expression. Some bands did just that and played the same arrangement different on many performances.
In jazz, emotion and expression are before aesthetics. Although this is also found in European music, the aesthetics are mostly placed before expression.
Hope that makes sense.
