Here's Cab Calloway from 1937 with “Manhattan Jam”, featuring some outstanding clarinet work by, I believe, Andrew Brown.
Bonus video! In addition to being one of the swingingest organizations of the 1930's, Jimmy Lunceford's band was also fun to watch. Here they are in a Warner Bros. movie short from 1936, performing "Nagasaki". Great ensemble playing, great solos by Joe Thomas on tenor sax and Paul Webster on trumpet, and even some fancy footwork. Sheer joy!
