The recorded performances are a mixture of American style free jazz and European influenced improvisation blended at times with traditional Chinese music.[3] On his website Dennis Rea states that Free Touching: Live in Beijing at Keep in Touch is "quite possibly the first recording of free improvisation to emerge from China."[4]

The album was released as a double CD in March, 2004 on the Hong Kong-based Noise Asia Records label. It is distributed in North America by Verge Music Distributing.[3][5]
