I've been presuming there's a reason why you want to change the instrument on one track, rather than having each instrument on its own track. If there isn't such a reason, you might consider that alternative.

If you expressly wand the single MIDI track and program changes, I believe you're correct that sforzando doesn't do that.

Some other sound engines do. A number of people use the VSTSynthFont64 that PGM quietly bundle with BiaB, but say little about ... it is in the manual, though. The recent versions claim to support SFZ files "... much better now". If that doesn't work out, there are some excellent free soundfonts that may offer a comparable sound to the sax you like. If all of those fail, there are also tools around that will convert SFZ to SF2, though I think I've never tried that.
