Raben's "Jazz Records 1942-1980" gives for the saxes:
Georgie Auld, Gus Bivona, Chuck Gentry, Skeets herfurt, Ted Nash, Wilbur 
Schwartz, Bob Cooper, Dave Pell, Bud Shank. It is not specified which five 
saxes played at each title.
The same for the guitars:
Al Hendrickson, Howard Roberts, Bobby Gibbons, Tommy Tedesco, Bill Pitman, 
George Van Eps, poss. Al Viola, poss. Herb Ellis.

Hope this helps a bit.
