The structure of the sentence is compound-complex.

This is because the sentence contains multiple independent clauses ("Although I am not particularly fond of the song, I do think it has a dramatic ending," and "Jerry thinks it is the best song he has heard all year") as well as dependent clauses ("Although I am not particularly fond of the song" and "despite the fact that he normally does not care for that composer").
