The elevators in my building do not play muzak, but the local grocery store pipes in '60's classic rock.  I can tell you, when I was young I never would have thought I'd be buying produce while Light My Fire was playing in the background.  Feel a rant coming on so I'll leave it at that.

I like "The Sound of Muzak", for whatever that's worth.

Where do you get elevators that play free form jazz?  One of the weirdest things I heard on "muzak" was a Talking Heads song at a grocery store in the early '90's I think.  I don't remember what it was.  Maybe it will come back to me.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

In my building they went from classical chamber music to 60s pop and now to the 70s.  The bad part is getting a song I detest stuck in my brain simply because I had to visit the head.  Styx is about as close to prog as the muzak ventures.  Mostly it's disco garbage.

Well any radio station or other music source that plays the same song everyday every hour sure it'll get repetitive.

I know! OP, do you not realize what free form jazz means? Because elevator muzak is smooth jazz like Kenny G, not Albert Ayler...

Well you'll hear free form jazz on a smooth jazz station. They will be mixed in there or you'll hear them separately.

"Brow beaten by the bias and broke
The current on the book of numbers
I won a job working with the railroad
Converting bollard parachutes
My resume said I clean vapors
But I usually do aquarium rescue
I'm going to take an elevator up to the moon"

Col. Bruce Hampton* doing a song that can never be made into elevator music.

*may not be quoted totally accurately.

My elevator music doesn´t exists at all but, can we expand our ears to train, or other kind of vehicles background music?
The water rushes over all
cities crash in the mighty wave;
the final man is very small,
plunging in for his final bathe
