Well you *can* do that (and I've seen it done that way), but often - the music being improvised anyway - you don't really have a tempo indication, except for Swing, Med. Swing, Uptempo Swing, Ballad etc., and those are just suggestions or show how the piece was played in a referenced recording. That's, if we're talking about a lead sheet - look into a "Real Book" for examples.
If it's orchestral music (eg Big Band), the score probably contains more exact tempo values (which my Big Band conductor usually ignores ...). ______ Don't ask me who's influenced me.
