Johnny Winter And – "It's My Own Fault" (live, 1970)
This is the lineup that features Rick Derringer and Randy Jo Hobbs, formerly of the McCoys.
It was quite a surprise when the band that topped the charts in 1965 with "Hang On Sloopy" hooked up with Johnny Winter. As members of Johnny Winter And, however, they morphed into a monster rock & blues unit.
This is a slow blues composed by Riley King.

Hiromi – "I Got Rhythm" (live, 2017)
Hiromi Uehara is a virtuoso jazz pianist who has been making waves since the early 2010s. Her compositional style is a cross of many genres, including, says Wikpedia, "stride, post-bop, progressive rock, classical, nu jazz and fusion."
This video even includes hints of avante garde jazz or classical (or something!). The longer I listened, the more I was mesmerized. By the end, I was a huge fan!
Works for me! The parts where she rapidly hammers down with alternating hands would be perfect for a scene of a dog slapping down with alternate paws, slipping while trying to get the chase started. And since she changes styles two or three times a minute, you could adjust the cartoon accordingly.
Dire Straits – "Sultans of Swing" (live, 1983)
Smiles, all around! Mark Knopfler is fantastic, as is guitar mate Hal Lindes, and drummer Terry Williams is a powerhouse. His crisp drumming is the driving force that keeps pushing this up-tempo number forward.
This performance was recorded during a two-night stand at London's Hammersmith Odeon on 22-23 July 1983. The concerts came at the end of an eight-month tour that had the band tuned to a T.
