I've been trying to transcribe the head of a few tunes. My transcription of Grant Greens The Selma March can be found here:
The Selma March
Got some good advice on transcribing from "rainier beer" at AAJ:
To attempt to transcribe changes I would:
1. Transcribe the bass line.
2. Transcribe a solo and see what changes the soloist is playing. (Useless in this case since the solos are over a modal vamp, and you are interested in the changes played during the head.)
3. Transcribing chord voicings (extremely difficult especially with the watery organ sound). Some times if you can pick out one or two notes it can give a clue.
4. Make a best guess based on the above info. Play along with the recording to see how it sounds.
I hope I'm close to it
