Eliana Pittman
Eliana Pittman (born Eliana Leite da Silva; August 14, 1945) is a Brazilian singer and actress. Considered one of the more soulful Brazilian vocalists of the early 1970s, Pittman is the stepdaughter of jazz saxophonist Booker Pittman. He was her first music teacher, mentor, and recording partner, playing a significant role in shaping her artistic path.
With a distinctive swinging voice and intensity in her style, Pittman was a brilliant scat singer who turned insipid novelty tunes and light pop into definitive, jazz based treatment. Her first great hit was Tristeza, recorded in 1966, which gained her instant recognition in South America, though she never had a huge hit like Astrud Gilberto's Garota de Ipanema. During the 60s and 70s, she toured throughout Brazil, Italy, France, Japan, US, Spain and Venezuela. In 2001, Pittman opened a new tour starting from Rio de Janeiro. Since then, she has been alternating moments of reclusion and some activity as a TV actress.
