It's easy to create your own copy of Professor Pimento's 60-minute Christmas cassette tape to make the holiday season more festive. This year our favorite prof has delved into the fertile worlds of 40's bop and 50's cool for his inspiration.He calls the result "Coolest Yulest" (Mojotoons 014). Ever the pedagogue, ol' Pimento provides some links at the bottom of this page if you desire some post-grad work.
