Strata is an album by American jazz pianist Matthew Shipp which was recorded in 1997 and released on the Swiss hatOLOGY label.
The album features the Horn Quartet, a chamber-jazz group without drums composed of Shipp and three members of the band Other Dimensions In Music: trumpeter Roy Campbell, multi-instrumentalist Daniel Carter and bassist William Parker. Two weeks before, Shipp played as guest on Other Dimensions In Music live album Time Is of the Essence Is Beyond Time.
In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states "It is a stunning work, really, that showcases Shipp at the height of his compositional and improvisational powers, and points the way to the flowering of his vast talent as an arranger as well."The Penguin Guide to Jazz says that "Campbell is a diehard free jazz man and he puts some warmth into the surroundings."
