Ronald Shannon Jackson, the legendary jazz drummer and composer from Fort Worth who helped pioneer free jazz and jazz fusion, died Saturday morning of leukemia. He was 73.

In a career that spanned more than four decades, Mr. Jackson appeared on more than 50 albums as a leader, sideman, arranger or producer, and he collaborated with the pioneers of jazz’s avant-garde movement.
