High Contrast is an album by Hungarian jazz guitarist Gábor Szabó, produced by Tommy LiPuma and recorded by Bruce Botnick at Capitol Studios, Hollywood in December 1970 (tracks 1,4,7) & at The Record Plant, Hollywood in February 1971 (tracks 2,3,6). The album features a major contribution from songwriter and guitarist Bobby Womack, including the original version of Womack's "Breezin'", that George Benson would have a major hit with in 1976 (also produced by LiPuma). The composition "If You Don't Want My Love" was also used by Womack in his soundtrack to the film Across 110th Street.
