English translation: The night, "jazz" we could predict, ended up at...

Portuguese term or phrase: Jazzevê
The full context (sorry about the length) is:
"A noite! Essa Jazzevê, acabava no “Toca aqui”, cenário da conversa em desobediência sagrada, onde os argumentos fluíam e se expunham à crítica e ao confronto mútuo, regados com humor, informação, persuasão e o riso era coisa que nunca faltava, como os alunos, também, que espontaneamente entravam e ficavam na situação. Divertimento, discernimento, profundidade, busca de saber sempre em devir, rigor, respeito, convicção e dúvida, empatia e uma relação criativa de quem vive como não tendo nada a perder."

This may be a metaphor - the people concerned are not musicians but university design lecturers relaxing and discussing their theories. I just don't know what the author is trying to convey here.

I get to "we could predict" because I understand Jazzevê as the same as "já se vê" or "as we could predict". I hope it helps. Was I clear enough or is it still confusing? Good Luck

The night J(az)z = as. IT's like playing with words. as the author has done it in portuguese Jazzevê = Já se vê (predictable)

Very clever of you, Claudia. I finally managed to speak to the author, who admitted he was playing with the words Jazz and já se vê. Personally, I think he deserves a good smacking. I'm also grateful to MLeiria for unwittingly putting me on to the track of the Toc'Aqui jazz club - the drinks are on me.

Explanation:
Looks like a word composed of "jazz" plus something. You'll not find this in a page in portuguese, but there are 36 pages in many othes languages, look at these examples:

Yes, it could be "evento" (the tonic accent in the last "e" suggests it), and a metaphorical jam session fits well.

Asker: Yes, I saw them earlier but I'm no wiser as a result. I think you're right about the word being "jazz" plus an add-on. Could it be "evento?" Is this a jam session - perhaps a metaphorical one in this case?

Já se vê (naturally)


Explanation:
Admiting there should be a comma between "Essa" and "Jazzevê",

might be a word play with "Jazz" and the expression "já se vê".

"The night, naturally, ended up at the 'Toca aqui'."

Answer to note to asker:

Well, I'm just guessing here, of course. But all the text you show, although obviously coming from someone whit a high education, as a sort of a "reader-friendly" ring to it. I would say that "já se vê" fits well in it.

Asker: You've put me on the track of something here. It seems there is a "Toc'Aqui Jazz bar" in Aveiro (Largo Praça Peixe, 34, in case you're thinking of going!). I'm a bit doubtful of your "Já se vê", however, because the author is a highly educated academic - in fact, the whole text suffers from "a fala dos doutores". Thanks for reorienting my thinking.

Notes to answerer
Asker: It could well fit the context, but how do you arrive at "we could predict" from "evê"?
