He started piano with his grandmother, Tamara Amirejibi. She had left Georgia in 1921 and went to study music in Berlin, where she married the concert pianist Franz Osborn. He was a Schnabel pupil and she a pupil of Leonid Kreutzer at the Hochschule. Leonid Kreuter became her stepfather. Franz and Tamara Osborn came to Britain in 1933.
Jason Osborn started his career performing and exploring works from the Weimar Republic, and in particular the works of Bert Brecht, Kurt Weill and Hans Eisler. He worked with Dagmar Krause for a number of years performing in the UK, Europe and America. They also recorded many of the songs. He then worked with Marianne Faithfull on The Seven Deadly Sins, performing in America and Australia. They also worked together in the Gate Theatre, Dublin production of The Threepenny Opera translated by Frank Mcguinness.
Jason Osborn has in the last few years been filming in Georgia in the Caucasus, and his film Songs Of Georgia is a result of these visits.
