gus is an unknown quantity at this point
Other issues really confusing:

If I make a Big Band Arrangement of a piece I should request
a permit to composer even in the case that I do not sell the music for profit but If I play a Jazz Standard, which is an arrangement in fact, I shouldn't ( Where is the difference???).
Please someone tell me because my legal and musical education do not
allow me to understand it.

I think that for performance it must be unified the right of the
lawful owner by only one canon ( The performance canon). Of
course that anyone who sells arrangements for profit should
request authorization but private arrangements should be
permitted and fees could be earned by a performance fee.

That's my humble opinion.
