When last I visited it it hadn't been updated for a while, but see 'The
Clarinet in Jazz since 1945: A Selected Discography' on
http://users.bestweb.net/~msnyder/clarinet/clardisc.htm.

Incidentally I notice that the jazz dept at the Royal Academy of Music in
London is re-creating Benny Goodman's January 1938 Carnegie Hall concert on
12 November. I'll be interested to hear what they make of it.
