The Abaton Trio of Sylvie Courvoisier, Mark Feldman and Erik Friedlander do both compositions (by Couvoisier) and free improvisations. They have a very good 2CD set out on ECM with one disc of both. Here you get both sides, too, though this comes from a festival more directed towards composed modern/classical music (I don't know how that is called in English, I'd call it "Neue Musik" or something, not much helpful either, as a term of description).
Thomas Demenga also has a homepage to check out.
