  The "bohemian/progressive" part is best described by its members.
  Groups like De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest (and in fact the whole
  Native Tongue Family), as well as PM Dawn and the like fall into
  this class.  I can't do much better.  Try looking up "bohemian" in
  the dictionary. The "jazz" part is more obvious and, in fact, some
  of the above groups fit in that category.
