Contact is the thirteenth studio album by jazz saxophonist Boney James, released in 2011.
[1][2] James was part way through the recording of the album in 2010 when he was rear-ended by a drunk driver while sitting in traffic, suffering a fractured jaw, facial cuts, and losing two teeth.
[1][3] Of the album's title, James stated "Some of these songs had more of an energy even as I was starting, which is the first reason why I called it Contact.
"[3] The album features vocals from LeToya Luckett (on "When I Had the Chance"), Mario (on "That Look on Your Face"), Heather Headley (on "I'm Waiting"), and Donell Jones (on "Close to You").
[1] Contact received positive reviews from JazzTimes and Allmusic (Thom Jurek calling it "a bright spot in James' catalog").
