   Updated based on information received from Asa Stern. Asa says:

   Flute, Clarinet, Tenor Sax, Piccolo (1 note – Ab above the staff)
   There is a lot of improv for Tenor Sax (which is transposed incorrectly – it’s transposed up 2 whole steps from concert key)
   There’ s also a tenor part that’s written an octave lower than possible (G below the staff), but the score our conductor has, has it written an octave higher (which is playable).
