Opening of the Contemporary Jazz Opera, "Portrait of a Nude Woman as Cleopatra" by Leslie Burrs with libretto by Barbara Chase-Riboud... a lone drummer begins, then a flutist, African singer, pianist, and bassist gradually approach from the distance.  Jazz improvisation leads into the chamber music opening in the next track, "Portrait of a Nude Woman".
