I'm putting together a project I'm calling "Ballads, Bossas and Love Songs" and I'd love to play this tune. Anyone know where I can get this arrangement, or if not this one then something very like it?

I can help you with the version by the Airmen of Note. This recording not actually AoN:

No idea where to get the music. but this is such a lovely peace of music and great playing by Dick Nash! One of the pieces I used quite a lot to work on my phrasing, ballad playing and specifically try out different approaches to vibrato.
My folks had this Glenn Miller Reunion Band record that included this tune. It was beautifully played by Murray McEachern. Turns out it's posted on YouTube:
I hope these links work!

Dana, did you ever find an arrangement for this? I see that there is an arrangement by Ernie Barnard if you want to check it out; it includes an audio sample: https://www.ejazzlines.com/too-little-t ... ie-barnard

I did get an arrangement from someone here who was kind enough to send it to me. It was a big band arrangement like yours. But I still haven't found the arrangement of it, by Hank Mancini, as played by Dick Nash. And that's the one I want to play, or something very much like it. I might just ask someone to transcribe it for me since I can't find it.
I do love the way Murray Mac played. And it turns out Watrous played the original arrangement of it, too, though it was a very poor performance for him.
