In 1975, four young guys (Cla Nett, Fulvio Häfeli, Werner Doebelin and Ueli Hofmann) got together, eager to play their music, eager to play the blues. The Lazy Poker Blues Band was founded. With a new drummer, Marco Piazzalonga, the band produced their first album "Take It Lazy" (1978). Jakob Künzel and Sam Jenzer joined the band. Supported by the Lazy Horn Section, the next album "Soul Food" was released in 1980 and turned out to be a full success.

Together with Roli Frei, a new singer, more albums followed - "One More Mile" (1981), "Still Lazy" (1983), "Dealin' With Feeling" (1984) and "Constant Food Supply" (1995). They toured all over Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Italy (supporting act for Joe Cocker in Germany in 1984, and B.B. King in 1986 and 1995). After ten years of active music making, problems stirred up among the members of the band. A split was inevitable. With Jakob Künzel (vocals) the next album was produced, "Blue Road" (1986).

In 1992, Lazy Poker Blues Band had a dream. They went to Chicago and recorded their ninth album, "Halsted" (1994), at Chicago Trax Recording with local musicians (Melvia "Chick" Rodgers, A.C. Reed, Billy Branch, Kenny Neal and others). And now the best for last: another CD has been recorded in Chicago - something special for blues lovers - sessions after sessions with many great Chicago blues musicians released in spring 1996.
