Well,it is easier then it seems.First off all I think that the first seven measures is where the problem is,the rest of the form shouldn't be hard if you know how to play over II-V-I progression.
First seven measures can also be devided in groups of V-I or II-V-I

Lets  forget about bar lines for now: B  -  D7 G -  Bb7 Eb  -  Am D7G  -  Bb7 Eb  -  F#7 B     there you have it

If you want to make it sound not as an exercise(which it clearly is),but as something musical I will suggest trying a couple of things:

1.Try playing it as a medium tempo bossa(Pat Metheny Trio "Live" version).I think,musically it makes much more sense.I,personally,always play it like this,I never play it on guitar though,only on violin.
2.During first seven measures try not to play over each and every chord,take your time,create some space,two short phrases can be all you need.
3.You are absolutely right when you're saying that it's not really comfortable transitioning from lets say B to Fm,but if you'll look closer you'll find that they have a bunch of the same notes in them  

B C# D# E F# G# A#   to  F G Ab Bb C Db Eb
                                       now D# = Eb (3rd step in B = 7th step in
                                                              Fm)
                                       G#  =  Ab  (6th step in B  =  3rd step in
                                                          Fm)et cetera,you got an idea

So any time you see,for example, B going to Fm,look for mutual notes and use them for smoother transition.That's what I do.

Good luck!

Буквально вчера залил на сайт исполнение этой вещи Джениффер Баттен.

to Old TCR
It was not a misprint,it was just an example that illustrated my idea.
You can do whatever,play B major natural to F minor dorian,or B lydian to F minor natural etc. But of course,like any jazz player,whenever I see IIm7 I think dorian.

I don't think that Giant Steps is the key to understanding AH's playing.AH is a self tought musician,he is absolutely original and he's not using any of what people call "jazz chords" or "jazz vocabulary",that's why he does not play or record with "jazz players".Giant Steps,however,is a quintessential be bop tune,highest peak in it's evolution,it just does not get any more"be bop" then this - fast,uncomfortable chord changes,weird melody etc.So,for me, AH and Giant Steps concept are very far apart,I may be wrong,though.

P.S. I've got Metheny's version(audio),if you,guys,are interested.

Это типа разве они не джазовые?

Ну и ещё с кучей людей имена которых мне ничего не говорят по этому и умалчу о них (так как не уверен в их джазовости)

А в остальном я с тобой согласен полностью.

p.s. А кто знал что Холсворд с STUART HAMM на "RADIO FREE ALBEMUTH" 1988 работал? и с LEVEL 42?
