It was released on the RCA label in 2002 and has performances by Douglas, Chris Potter, Uri Caine, James Genus and Clarence Penn.

[1] The Allmusic review by Dave Lynch awarded the album 3 stars stating, "The Infinite is a strong debut release from Douglas' New Quintet.

Those with tastes tending toward post-bop and pre-fusion jazz should find much to like here, with the album perhaps serving as an entry point to the trumpeter's more chance-taking endeavors".

[2] On All About Jazz, C. Andrew Hovan wrote, "The Infinite is the record I've been waiting for Dave to make for some time now.

It's not too left of center, has a drummer on board, and allows Douglas' own eclectic sense of musical adventure to run wild.
