Help Milestones Chord Melody

I'm working on coming up with a chord melody to Miles Davis' "Milestones" from the album of the same name, but it's really taken me out of my comfort zone. I've tried working with modal voicings and harmonizing the melody like I might a bop tune. What's happening is that everything I've tried has lost the original feeling and momentum of the tune. Can anyone point me in the direction of an already existing CM of "Milestones" that I can access through PDF, or give me any tips or suggestions that would hopefully solve my problem?

Thanks y'all! I was surprised by how quick I got a response. I've stumbled across that book a few times but never really looked too much into it (I have a bit of a bias against Hal Leonard). But with that testimonial about Jamie Findlay from jeffstritt encouraged me to do a little research, and I think this book might be perfect for me. I'm working on getting ASAP. Once again, thanks!
