You have good taste. Try Dave Brubeck and Artie Shaw. Shaw was even better than Goodman. Harry James is another one you'll like.

The answers that you have received so far are not similar to what you are searching for.
Miller and Goodman were Big Band leaders. You should be seeking out Big Bands. The 1930's and early 1940's were the prime years for Big Band swing, like Miller and Goodman.
Try these Big Bands from that era...
Count Basie
Jack Teagarden
Tommy Dorsey
Woody Herman
Stan Kenton.
I personally suggest the Duke Ellington album called Ellington Indigos. I'm not too into Big Bands, but I really like listening to this Duke album.

If you've never experienced Grant Green, you MUST pick up some of his material. It's not clarinet, it's jazz guitar.
Some samples at Amazon:
