Fuzzy,
I have to admit I'd never heard of Antti Sarpila till you mentioned him. His performances on YouTube suggest he's mostly a swing-based clarinetist. How many remember Jerry Wald, at one time thought to be serious competition for Artie Shaw? Wald goes back a few generations, but has some representation on the Internet. Johnny Mince could play great swing, New Orleans jazz, and maybe some modern and classical too. A bit more on the modern side is Andy Firth. In Amsterdam, Dr. Bernad Berkhout is playing as if the swing era never ended--and maybe in some sense it never did. Here's Berkhout playing Benny's "Let's Dance": https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Bernard+Berkhout+swing+orchestra+Let's+Dance.
So those are still more names add! Sarpila, Wald, Mince, Firth, and Berkhout. And there's plenty more when you think about it--John Denman, Sam Most (before he turned just to flute and sax), Abe Most, Sol Yaged, Gus Bivona, Andy Miles (who plays jazz on an Oehler clarinet as well as classical) et al.
