Interesting question! Neither "gli altri" ("the others") nor "tutti"
("everyone") would apply, because there's only one trumpet (or at
least only one trumpet on the solo).
Nevertheless, "tutti" is the long and *very* established term for what
you want, and every concerto soloist will recognize it immediately.
tutti=everyone here refers to the whole orchestra, not just the
(hypothetical) trumpet section.
There is one small difficulty: in concertos, the term "solo" is
typically used to designate any section where the soloist plays
prominently, not just unaccompanied passages. Traditionally the solo
and tutti designations are given in all the parts, not just the
soloist's, but I frown on this practice because it is not unheard of
for one of the orchestral players to have a solo themself. I would
recommend therefore that the soloist's solo and tutti marks be shown
only in the solo part and in the score. There is no need for the
accompanying musicians to know about them, as long as the conductor
does.
