"Fortunately not many standards are written in D"
That's true for some people I guess but many jazz wind (and other) players don't necessarily play standards. Some play music that doesn't have a key so you play whatever notes that fit at the moment, regardless of key. Not only that but I've seen tunes by some more standard-style sax players and they had the more difficult keys a lot too, or many key changes that make the original key almost irelevent.
"If you like that sort of thing - 'squeaky gate' music does nothing for me - it might be clever stuff but it goes right over my head - I like a good melody, and one that I can remember."
Some music that would be considered 'squeaky gate' by many is imo just as melodic as any music with a melody. It's down to understanding the specifics in the music itself rather than the "genre" / "style" and in some 'squeaky gate' music the principals, logic, sense, melody, are just the same as any good music (though might be much harder to hear at first), while some non-squeaky gate music can be very bad.
