For All I Care is an album by The Bad Plus with Wendy Lewis on vocals. It was released on October 20th, 2008 in Europe and on February 3rd 2009 in the U.S. This is the first Bad Plus album to include a vocalist, which is a switch from their past albums which feature all instrumental pieces. Also, this is the first Bad Plus album to feature no original songs. Although the Bad Plus are known for playing inventive covers of rock songs, this is their first album to exclusively feature cover songs, including a few 20th-century classical pieces.
