Infringement is the use, without permission, of copyrighted works when that use does not qualify for an exception to current law (i.e "fair use")

Is improvisation copyright infringement?

I can think of examples on both sides. If you were playing an instrument, improvising over a jazz standard, playing it would not be infringing. Transcribing it with chords would not be infringing. Transcribing it with complete notation of the existing work would be infringing. Distributing a recording would require a mechanical license for the underlying work. Ultimately, the copyright holder decides what is and what isn't worth suing over.
