I have a hinch that akin to Kenji Yamamoto in DKC Returns this time Wise was the main guy behind most (if not all) the level music, as well as menus, bonus levels, credits, etc.. The tracks I don't think he could have done are the boss themes (both heavy metal and "tropical"), all the Rocketbarrel remixes and Secret Seclusion; none of them share Wise's blues and jazzy style.
I also think that Kenji Yamamoto was this time only a music supervisor (wasn't needed on music with Wise on board this time around), and given the weird way the staff is arranged this is conjectural, but maybe from Nintendo (along Wise) Matsuoka, Hamano and Ushiroda did music and Riyu Tamura voice recording; Tamura has only had credits of sound effects and such in other games.
The quickest solution would be to ask Wise directly. Maybe with the upcoming Yooka-Layle soundtrack he will do an AMA / interview / etc. and he'll have the chance to clarify.
