jazz vigil
er en direkte oversettelse; du får vurdere om den funker i sammenhengen. De religiøse konnotasjonene er kanskje for sterke?
Ordsammensetninger med -vake er ikke så vanlige; den vanligste er kanskje "valgvake", som er en sammenkomst der man følger opptellingen av stemmene etter et valg. "Likvake" er et annet ord, men det er en skikk som ikke er vanlig i det protestantiske Norge, der døde mennesker stues i en kjeller til de skal kremeres/begraves.
Et søk på "jazz vigil" på google gir et par treff; se om du synes de rettferdiggjør valget.

all-night Jazz vigil
Although the press kept calling, asking if we would cancel, we went on, with a reinforced sense of purpose, dedicating our all-night Jazz vigil to our sisters and brothers in the inferno across the sea. In the Jazz tradition, we celebrate life, and we are not silenced by cowards and bullies.

My religious family holds some very good Easter vigils and wakes to celebrate our belief in the hereafter - without the 'ructions' of Finnegan's wake ;-) But it is a positive experience, all too seldom including those from Australia, India and Denmark! I really like the association of a jazz wake.
And thanks, Tore, let's keep Virgil in his place!
Space was very tight, so I ended up by using 'all night jazz' to make sure non-native speakers of English understood. A pity, but that's the price of a global language...
