[[File:Touchingon.jpeg|right|200px]]"Touching On" is a 1978 album credited to [[John Stevens]], and Allan performs on guitar throughout. Since the music was largely improvised, Allan received co-composer credit on two tracks. This is “freebag” music, totally improvised jazz. Allan considered all the albums he did with John Stevens as bootlegs. He agreed to do this album, which he claims he never got paid for, and considered the other John Stevens recordings unauthorized outtakes. Allan mostly plays with a clean tone along drums, acoustic piano and bass. There are good moments here, but the music has a meandering quality which makes it challenging listening.

"So I’m as disgusted with John '''Stevens''' as I am with a lot of the record companies, who are doing the same thing to a lot of the people who pass on, like Jaco Pastorious. I think it’s completely degrading what they’ll do to people after they’ve gone. I think if the musician wanted them to be part of his thing they would have already been out." | "So I’m as disgusted with John '''Stevens''' as I am with a lot of the record companies, who are doing the same thing to a lot of the people who pass on, like Jaco Pastorious.
