The future jazzman was born in Moscow. Georgiy's parents were Soviet intellectuals. In his youth, his father Aram Garayan trained as a timber skidding engineer, and his mother Vera Korchina worked as a primary school teacher. At the age of 7, Zhora first heard Glenn Miller's "Moonlight Serenade" and fell in love with jazz forever. The boy was taught the basics of playing the piano by his neighbor, a music teacher.

While receiving higher education, the young man played in an amateur musical band, where he independently mastered the saxophone. By the end of the institute, a wide-ranging mechanical engineer, Garanyan had already led a group of saxophonists in the Youth Orchestra of the Central House of Artists, led by Yuriy Saulskiy. In 1957, the team was awarded a silver medal at the World Festival of Youth and Students in Moscow.
