Unless it's from the pre-disney era, it's unlikely to be public domain.

I was just re-reading Ted Gioia's History of Jazz, which I'd never read past the swing era before, I learned more about Gunther Schuller. I'd never realized Schuller was a musician himself who played on Miles Davis' Birth of the Cool sessions, and that he was involved in the "Third Stream"...
